    Resolved FileDateTime

    The VB documentation says FileDateTime returns the created date or the modified date. What does that mean?

    Does anyone know what it actually returns. I have seen many conflicting opinions on this forum and am confused!

    Thanks

    It means that it returns the date and time of when the file was last changed. This is the same shown by Windows Explorer.

    Thanks for the replies. Why does it say created OR modified then as these are 2 totally different dates??

    If a file hasn't been modified since it was first created the function returns the creation date/time.

    Re: FileDateTime

    OK. Thanks. The creation date in that case is the same as the modified date! So it only really returns the modified date!

    Thanks for all your help.
