Using the @FILE function with the pseudo attribute T will return the date of the folder or file. I noted however that the date it returns is the modified date. What I need is the creation date of the file or folder.
Does anyone know how to get the creation date of a file or folder in vds?

As far as I remember the latest version of my TimeDate.DLL has the ability to get creation time, last access,
and last write of a file.
This version hasn't been publicly released yet but you can have it if you want.

BTW, I don't presently remember if the function will handle directories as well.

Thanks Dread!
I completely forgot about that function in your TimeDate.dll.
(I have version 1.8.0)
Unfortunately it only supports files and I need it for folders.

One more thing about this function:
Even after having set OPTION DECIMALSEP,"." the function @timedate(GetFileDT,FileName) still returns a value with a comma in it instead of a point.

Hi there, Jan

You can tell the DLL which separator to use:
@timedate(SetDecSep, [new local decimal separator of the DLL])

You will need the new version 1.9 of the DLL to obtain creation date etc. and to work with directories.
Stay tuned - I will post the new release now Wink

Gonna use the new dll tomorrow at work but knowing the quality of your dll's I'm sure it's going to be just perfect.
