View Full Version : DSO and File Properties

I wrote a xls/VBA application a few years ago (MS Office 2000) that used DSOfile.dll to read file properties. I was mostly concerned about MS Office files, but the approach worked with most file types encountered and generally fetched something of use.

I exhumed the application recently (now running xl2003) and noticed a change in how files are treated. The application still works fine for MS Office files, but it seems to be changing the last modified date for other types of files -- changes the date to when it was interrogated using DSO. Is this normal behaviour? If so, is there a way around this?

Thanks
