File Date & Time

[Joe P]

Greetings,

I'm working on a VB6 project where I'm storing and pulling out RTF and BMP
files to/from an Access 97 database. The graphic file data is being stored
in an OLE field and I'm using both GetChunk and AppendChunk methods. I'm
also storing the filename, file date/time, and the file size.

Later in the program, I test if the file exists and if so, that the file
sizes match. I'd like to also compare the file date/time between the database
& on disk.

The problem is that if the graphic files are written out to disk from the
database, they are stamped with the current system date & time. Are there
Windows API calls to set a files date & time.

Thanks,
Joe

Try the SetFileTime API
