Obtain information about files on your system RESOLVED

I'm going to be making a properties form giving some basic info about a file that the user double clicks on in the filelist box. Things I want to obtain is the file size of the selected file and if possible the date that it was created. Is there a way I can do this?

The following will return the Last Modified Date/Time, like:

VB Code:

MsgBox FileDateTime("C:\temp\SomeFile.txt")

Bruce.

Date/Time Modified & Size (in Bytes) like:

VB Code:

Dim strFileName As String
 
strFileName = "C:\temp\SomeFile.txt"
 
MsgBox "Date and Time : " & FileDateTime(strFileName) & vbCrLf _
    & "File Size is " & FileLen(strFileName) & " Bytes"

Certainly one way to obtain file info, but if you can do it without the overhead of the FSO, then why would you :)
