>When I copy a file from one directory to another, I need to update its time stamp. How can I accomplish that from Visual FoxPro?

You could use my Windows Time programming from the downloads. It allows you to modify any of the 3 stamps. Normally, I'd like to say you could use the Foxtouch() function in Foxtools, but it doesn't work correctly. The date and time you pass it is interpreted as UTC time instead of local time, so you'd have to adjust for that.
