Erik,
One thing that hasn't been mentioned is that VFP 5/6 FoxTouch() function works just slightly different than the FPW version. The date and time you provide is "adjusted" by your timezone offset before it's applied to the file. So you either have to know what this TZ bias is, OR read it from the registry. Of course it's stored in a binary value so you can't use the standard REGISTRY.PRG.
