Simple... get file date creation!

[invitro]

How can i get the date of when a file was modified?

Thanks in advance!

Hi!

The easiest way I know is to use the FileSystemObject.
(You have to add 'Microsoft Scripting Runtime' to your references).

Dim fso As FileSystemObject
Set fso = New FileSystemObject
    
Dim fle As File
Set fle = fso.GetFile("C:\Autoexec.bat")
    
MsgBox "Modified: " & fle.DateLastModified

I think somebody have post the simple solution with create any Object like FileSystemObject.

Format(FileDateTime(<Your FileName>, "dd/mm/yyyy") & " " & Format(<Your FileName>), "h:mm:ss AMPM")

Thanks for the reply, ill look into that right now!

[invitro]

TimeX = Format(FileDateTime(File), "dd/mm/yyyy") & " " & Format(FileDateTime(File), "h:mm:ss AMPM")

Just a correction, this is how the code should look like.




This format method works great, but it gives me the time the file was accessed not modified.

Is there any way i can change that?
