Add the Microsoft Scripting Runtime DLL to your project (go to PROJECT / REFERENCES and find it)

Then;

Dim FSO as New FileSystemObject
Dim MyFile as File

Set MyFile=FSO.GetFile("[filename]")

You can then use;

MyFile.DateCreated for the creation date.
MyFile.DateLastAccessed for the last access date.
MyFile.DateLastModified for the modified date.
MyFile.Size for the size of the file
MyFile.Attributes to get the attributes of the file - check out the help file for more info.


and much more. The MS Scripting Runtime object is very useful in any program that needs to know things about the file system.
