>I have used Foxtools for only one specific function that is to this day undocumented in Foxtools help file. FOXTOUCH() which allows to change the date and tine the file was created. We needed this because we downloaded files from Hong Kong to Montreal and we needed to have the file dated that day, that time, rather that the 13 hours difference between the two sites.

>>>By coincidence I've been working on a VFP6 app over the last few days and at one point I was looking at using some of the FoxTools functions. I couldn't find anything in VFP6 help about FoxTools, instead I found George Tasker's excellent extended help file: download#9333
