That is correct...they are interchangeable

Ahh...I have all the .prg files in the same directory (with other utilities), in my path

Well, the modified date is the 3rd parameter, not the 4th. And it only seems to work if you pass it again in the 4th. See below.

Also, I'm assuming the .exe that is attempting to do the modifying is *not* archiver.exe. It can't modify itself...

lcfile = 'C:\Matt\Discovery\LB_400\LogBook\archiver.exe'
ltModified = datetime()
SET PROCEDURE TO FileTime ADDITIVE
oFileTime = CREATEOBJECT("FileTimes")
llresult = oFileTime.SetFilesTime(lcfile, , <b>ltModified, ltModified</b>)
