I really don't think so. The date/time of when the file was created of modified is part of the file properties and is not stored anywhere else. Even the windows search assistant and to iterate throught the folders etc.

Thanks for the reply. &nbsp;I had hoped against this and already have a straightforward recursive routne written. &nbsp;I'd just like to have avoided it.<br />
<br />
I'll hold off a wee bit to see if there are other replies and if not, the points are yours.<br />

Hi,<br />
<br />
Re: VB.net 2003 <br />
<br />
I was wondering if anyone knew of a way to find files in a specified location based on their date and time, without recursively having to loop round the directory and it's subs, checking each file individually. &nbsp;I need to quickly put together a simple directory/file scan/backup app for a small network and would hope it can reasonably easily be accomplished using VB.NET<br />
<br />
I've been through the help files and Google'd until I can Google no more and am now stumped.<br />
<br />
Any and all replies appreciated.<br />
<br />

Finding files based on date and time

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,
