Paul -
Okay, so I'm trying to understand what this does ...

Will this hack into my files and get the original dates back?

The problem is I have a few distributed apps and some patches out on a website. When I ask a user whether they have the latest version of a program, they can only tell me the date. Unfortunately, it's always the date of the install -- not of the last revision.



TIA!

> ldVersion = laVersion[11]
