The help files says "Returns a Variant (Date) that indicates the date and
time when a file was created or last modified", so if the file were
modified, then that is the date that is returned. By the way, it is always a
good idea to read the help files about any new command you hear about (while
not the case here, there could be optional arguments that would be handy to
know about). The easiest way to get to the help file for a particular
command is to put the cursor on it (if you do not have it in code yet, just
type it into the Immediate Window) and press F1.

Hi
As part of an error checking control step I would like to add some VBA
to a Macro which requires extracting the date of modification of a
text file.

there is vba function 'filedatetime(filename)' which returns the
date-time
of a specified file-name, so you may process it as you want

Thanks Sali
Will this give me the modified time of the file?
Or will it return the created date?

Thanks for your help
Eddie

Thanks Rick looks good and thanks for the advice and again thanks sali
for the pointer
