Need to read file Time and/or Date stamp

Author	Message
Brett Walk #1 / 3	Need to read file Time and/or Date stamp I need to read the time and date stamp from any file on a disk. I have written code using VB/DOS STD Ver 1.00 (I know it is old!) to do this. I cannot convert this code to VB/WIN STD Ver 3.00. The dos code uses interrupts and absolute adress of an ASCIIZ string. In trying to convert the code I was reffered to Windows API functions for the equivalent interrupt and peek/poke functions. I don't know which functions to use or how to go about finding the complete list of API functions available. Searching the help file I was reffered to help file available in the Pro edition. What do I do? Upgrade to the Pro edition or, obtain the reffered help files or, obtain Windows API documentation elsewhere or, ask for coding to do this. Please post messages to news group URGENTLY.

Use the FileDateTime function. -- Newbiehood is not a period of time, it's a way of life. http://www.sn.no/~balchen/ ftp://ftp.sn.no/user/balchen/

Use the FileDateTime Function in VB3.0 STD edition. It returns the date and time when the file has last been modified. See your VB3 help files for more info & examples. Tom
