<- - Trying to Get the File Created Date - -> 1

[nidifice]

I'm using the FSO and building a page based on the files in a particular folder.
The files are all MS Word documents. Using the FSO I can get the 'objFile.DateCreated'; but, this date doesn't hold true when it is uploaded. The Word documents have their own creation date and modified date that doesn't change when they are uploaded from somewhere else (you can view them by right clicking on the document and looking at its properties).
Is there a way to access these Word dates?

formatdatetime(objFile.DateLastModified,vbShortDate)

Um, don't think you fully read the problem. I'm looking to access the ---MS Word--- 'Date of Creation' & 'Date Last Saved.' NOT the generic DateCreated & DateLastModified.

Oh... sorry

More specifically:

-Right Click
-Open Properties
-Goto Summary Tab and Scroll down (On win2000)

I figured this out.

Microsoft has a component (DSOFILE.DLL) that will let you access office summary tabs from VB, VBScript, ASP.

Just in case anyone else wanted to know.

Thanks for posting.

Some sample code because it isn't the most redundant thing on the web.

dim objDocProp, objProp

set objProp = server.CreateObject(&quot;DSOleFile.PropertyReader&quot
