DateLastModified property date extraction
I am trying to extract the DATE part of a file using the DateLastModified
property. Anyone experience of doing this? It appears I need to define the file as an object first then read the object property, and finally extract the date string.

Nigel,
in Tools/References set a reference to "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" Then: Sub GetFileMod() Dim oFS As New Scripting.FileSystemObject Dim oFL As Scripting.File Set oFL = oFS.GetFile("test1.xls") MsgBox oFL.DateLastModified End Sub keepITcool < email : keepitcool chello nl (with @ and .) < homepage: http://members.chello.nl/keepitcool "Nigel" wrote: I am trying to extract the DATE part of a file using the DateLastModified property.

DateLastModified property date extraction
Nigel,
If you don't have a reference to the Scripting Runtime Library, go to the Tools menu, choose References, find "Scripting Runtime Library" and check it. Then, use code like Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject Dim F As Scripting.File Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject Set F = FSO.GetFile(ThisWorkbook.FullName) Debug.Print Int(F.DateLastModified) -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Nigel" wrote in message ...

DateLastModified property date extraction
Chip,
Thanks for your help again, to illuminate my understanding further, I found the "Microsoft Scripting Runtime" in my system (XP SP2 & Excel SP2), however will this code run in NT4 / Excel 97 which is my target system ?

DateLastModified property date extraction
Nigel,
I believe that the Scripting Runtime Library is installed by Internet Explorer version 5, so if you have IE5 or later on the system, it should work fine. -- Cordially, Chip Pearson Microsoft MVP - Excel Pearson Software Consulting, LLC www.cpearson.com "Nigel" wrote in message ...
