Yeah - I was able to make good use of it already...

What I was not able to do was combine it into a formula in a maco, like:

ActiveCell.FormulaR1C1 = "=IF(f.datelastmodified(TODAY()+0.99999),""Fu ture
Data?"",(IF(f.datelastmodified<TODAY(),""Old Data"",""Validated"")))"

How would I go about doing that?

The code actually produces a serial number date in the cell.

Sub test1()
Dim fs, f, f1, fc, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFile("c:\temp\abc.txt")
MsgBox (f.datelastmodified)
Range("A1") = f.datelastmodified

This works - But - Since I want to run logic in the worksheet based on this
data, how do I redirect the response to a cell instead of a Message Box?

I have created a number of automated reports in Excel and now need to pass
the actual report generation on to a team of Analysts.

There is a mix of automated and manual extracts that comprise the source for
these reports.

Is there a way I can test to see if the "Date Modified" for the source
file(s) is = to TODAY?

Thank you for your assistance!
