First include a reference to Microsoft Scripting Runtime and then:

Sub xp()
Dim FSO As Scripting.FileSystemObject
Dim FileItem As Scripting.File
Set FSO = New Scripting.FileSystemObject
Set FileItem = FSO.Getfile("C:\test\A.ppt")
MsgBox (FileItem.Path)
MsgBox (FileItem.Size)
MsgBox (FileItem.Type)
MsgBox (FileItem.DateCreated)
Set FileItem = Nothing
Set FSO = Nothing
End Sub

If the POLICE allow, checkout:

or

Hi,

Thanks; unfortunately our internet Nazi's have that site blocked;
is there a chance you could point me to another site or perhaps
just throw me a bone with the next line of code I need...?

Thanks so much!

Hi,

I need to get a reference to a text file using the file system object; here
is what I have far:

Dim oFSO As Object
Dim oFile As Object
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


Can someone please help me out with this and post what I still need using a
generic file path/filename?

Thanks
