Hi,
Was wondering if anybody had code for checking the creation date of a document (.pdf) on a website?
I'm trying to update the users documents to the most current version but want to compare the two dates before I download.

Thanks,
Simon

Simon, you can do this with ftp.

Say your web server's address is "someServer.com" and the file is in a directory "www/files", then
or, if authentication is needed

will put a list of the files in that directory into fld "someField"

The list will include the names of the files, their creation dates and stuff like their permissions. Just parse the list to get the info you need.


Best,

Mark

Thanks again Mark!
