Thanks for the infomation.

I was wrong to call it an inconsistency. The temp file I created on the server had the correct create timestamp, but for some reason the modified timestamp was from the workstation. ADIR() would only give me the modified timestamp. I know if I dug deeper I could get the create timestamp, but I feel it is a cleaner solution to use APIs than to use temp files. (By the way how do you get a file's create timestamp?)
