For File Properties of the OS - isn't there a SYS() Command for that. Just off the top of my head - I think there is...
-K- -----Original Message----- From: ProfoxTech [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Joe Yoder Sent: Tuesday, May 14, 2013 11:00 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Access windows file attributes from VFP I want to be sure that IIF files I create in a VFP program are imported into Quick Books. My current thought is to have the system maintain a table of the output IIF files created with file name, creation timestamp and transfer timestamp. This information will allow the system to refuse further processing until the previous file has been transferred. The system would scan the log file for records with an empty transfer timestamp field and do an API call to get the files last accessed time. The value would then be plugged into the log file record if it is later than the creation date. I'm hoping that I can read the file properties from the OS to get the last access time without changing the value of the field. I also hope the import operation from Quick Books will update the last access time. Googling gave me bad news about the time not being reliable, the copy operation not updating the last accessed property, and different behavior in different versions of Windows. Does someone know if what I am contemplating is doable? Have a better solution?
