Does anyone know of a windows utility to check the value in the date modified column in a windows file folder? I want to be able to check that value and determine if I need to send an email to our development staff.

Thanks in advance for any help, suggestions or direction.

Date Created or Date Modified? I don't know if that object supports Date Modified.

Here is a utility to check date created. I will do research for date modified:

'==========
stPath = InputBox("Type the folder path:")
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set stFolder = FSO.GetFolder(stPath)
stDateCreated = stFolder.DateCreated
WScript.Echo stDateCreated
'==========

It does support LastModified, but it is a WMI call, not an FSO call. Here is a start:

'==========
stSQL = "SELECT * FROM Win32_Directory WHERE Name = " & stNewFolder
stComputer = "."
Set objWMIService = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonat e}!\\" & stComputer & "\root\cimv2")
Set colFolders = objWMIService.ExecQuery(stSQL)
For Each objFolder In colFolders
    WScript.Echo "Last Modified: " & objFolder.LastModified
Next
'==========

The problem is that the user has to type in the full path and then the path needs to look like this:

C:\\Documents and Settings

Not C:\Documents and Settings.

I could write this, but it would take some time and the user would still have to type in the full path. Maybe you can look in VB.Net and see if anyone has done this. I think I will do one to grab all the properties from a folder explorer.

Here are the properties:
Archive
Caption
Compressed
CompressionMethod
CreationDate
Encrypted
EncryptionMethod
Hidden
IsUseCount
LastAccessed
LastModified
Name
Path
Readable
System
Writeable

This probably doesn't help. Sorry.
