 (Q) Help with SelectDir and Date/Time stamp

Help!! am too woozy this morning....
I need to create a utility that allows users to select any directory on the
hard drive and then use a Report to print out all file names in the
directory along with their individual date/time stamps.
I think I know how to loop through all the files.
My questions are:
(a) should I use the GetOpenFileName convention to get the diretory
selection ? (seems overkill. A similar utility for Access 2.0 requires
SWU2016.DLL, part of 2.0 ADT. Is there a similar API call in A95???)
(B) How would I access the date time stamp of the file????
Any help is appreciated........

Hello

There is an example of using the function GetOpenFileName in the
examples of Access 95 (Nordwind Datenbank) If you are moving this
database and open an other example database there is the search of the
attached tables in nordwin.mdb. For there you can copy the use of the
function in your database.

Thanks Patrick. Unfortunately, as teh users don't need to select a file,
using the GetOpenFileName is an Overkill in the situation. I wanted an API
call that just lets them select a directory. I'm well aware of the
GetOpenFileName function and for now am using that in my procedure. But as
it is, users need to select a file name within a directory before I can
parse out the path.
Thanks anyway.
