Or try a less engineering way.<br />
If it is really a .TXT file try adding a single space at the end and save it. Open it again, eat the space you've just added and save it again.<br />

I think if you just open the file for append and then close it the date will be changed even if no data is added.<br />
<br />
FileID = Freefile<br />
OPEN &quot;Myfile&quot; for append as #FileID<br />
Close #FileID<br />
<br />
M<br />

Then use planask's idea. I didn't test it, but depending on the OS the date can change. A file on a Novell server will show an update.<br />

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
