what is filespec ??
 

I've copied this out of VBA help, and I'm having trouble understanding it.
Can anyone tell me what (filespec) means??

Do I need to enter the file path and name here in it's place??

Sub ShowFileAccessInfo(filespec)
Dim fs, f, s
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fs.GetFile(filespec)
s = f.Name & " on Drive " & UCase(f.Drive) & vbCrLf
s = s & "Created: " & f.DateCreated & vbCrLf
s = s & "Last Accessed: " & f.DateLastAccessed & vbCrLf
s = s & "Last Modified: " & f.DateLastModified
MsgBox s, 0, "File Access Info"
End Sub

what is filespec ??
 

In this context, filespec is simply the full file name, including
the path.

filespec is the name of your file, with path, e.g.
