Hello everyone,
I have quick question that perhapse some of the more experianced developers can hopfully help me with. I am new to this so please mind my ingnorence. I am trying to get write access to the "date created" property of a given file.I am basically only familiar with VB but am not sure if this can be done in VB is this possible in some other language. If so is there a COM object that will allow me to perform this type of operation?

Thanks
Chris

I don't know if there's a COM object but there is a function in Windows API which allows you to do that. It is SetFileTime(). The pair for it is GetFileTime(). Try to get the information on how to use them; if you can't, mail me.
