Checking File Attributes of Excel CSV over Inter/Intra Net

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance


I have been reading up on DSO for closes files, and
BuiltinDocumentProperties but none seem to work over the web.

I have to check a CSV every morning at random times to see if its
updated, and instead of making sloppy code to save yesterdays results
and bash against today's results, I was wondering if there were a more
efficient way.

Anyone have any insight to this problem??

Thanks,
Nick
