SetFileDate() Question

[juser]

GetFileDate gets the date created, modified of files and directories, however I can not get the SetFileDate to set the dates of folders. Is there a trick to this that I miss?

My code is to read the filedate for folderX on drive Y and set the same filedate to folderX on drive Z.

I searched the forums and not instance of SetFileDate showed up.

Thanks for any help.

Yes, you've struck upon an interesting point. PureBasic's SetFileDate command works with files but not with folders. This is due to the fact that the SetFileDate_() API needs a valid folder handle to set the creation date and a string isn't going to cut it. Here's how it can be done:

Thanks, I am looking at the code trying to figure what you have done.

That's how I spend much of my time, trying to figure out what the hell I've done.
