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?)

Larry,

There's also the Windows File Names, which is also available in the download section. However, rather than either of these, unless one wants to modify a particular date/time stamp, I'd opt for the Windows Script Host's Scripting.FileSystemObject.

oFSO = CREATEOBJECT("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
* lcfilename is the fully qualified file name of interest
oFile = oFSO.GetFile(lcfilename)
? oFile.DateCreated
? oFile.DateLastAccessed
? oFile.DateLastModified
