Displaying File Timestamp of Another Excel File
Did you put the function in a General module?
Did you allow macros to run when you opened the workbook?
And you did really put the full path to the other file in your formula, right?
=FileDate("C:\Temp\MyFile.xls")

Put this in a standard module in your workbook:

Application.Volatile
FileDate = FileDateTime(FileName)
End Function
Put this in a cell in a worksheet in your workbook
=FileDate("C:\Temp\MyFile.xls") [amend as appropriate]
Thanks, Bill, but for some reason I get a "#NAME?" error after pasting
the function
in the
VB
editor for that sheet, and putting the "=FileDate()" in a
cell in my workbook.
Suggestions? I am in an office with MS Office permissions tightly
controlled, so I cannot
download add-ins or install new software without Helpdesk
intervention.
