Mike,

The code works fine on .exe files.

Is it possible that the .exe is readonly? Or that it is in use somewhere (thus preventing the timestamps from being changed)?

BTW, there aren't any errors in the program file. ENDPROC is completely acceptable, and the programs need to be in your path (rather than having the path hardcoded in the program itself).

< Update >
Is it your intent to only change the accessed date? This date changes often...it changes even by viewing the properties of a file in My Computer.


HTH,

steve
