Re: File Modification Date

Kirk

You might need to do a bit of on-line searching, and searching in Access
HELP. I seem to recall that there IS a way to get attributes of files
(e.g., creationdate), but I don't recall HOW...

Perhaps one of the other newsgroup readers recalls the 'how'...

Good luck!

I'm looking to capture the date the text file was created.

I'm not clear on what you want. The date the text file was created
(before
importing)? The date the text file was imported?

Since text files are rarely well-normalized, and since Access has
relationally-oriented features and functions, you (and Access) are
probably
better off taking the raw import data and 'parsing' it into more
permanent
(and better-normalized) tables ... so do you want the date you 'parsed'
the
input?!

I'm importing a bunch of text files. I would like to capture the date
the
text file was actually created (modification date) in the import. Can
I
do
that?
