MrKim Well-Known Member Licensed User Longtime User Sep 10, 2017 #1 I am copying a lot of large files from a Windows server for speed. Is it possible to get the last modified date from a Windows Server file so I can compare dates to see if they have changed? I know this is changed when copied, I can store the date if I can get it. Thanks

SMB If I can't get the date from windows, I actually prefer that it sets the date to today. I will just delete anything over a week old and provide the users with a button to 'delete all' if they need to force a refresh but the clean and seamless way would be to check the mod date and see if it is changed.

Then used your SetLastModified sub https://www.b4x.com/android/forum/threads/file-system.8670/#post-180708 Now I can just compare file dates. Whatever they are paying you it is not enough. Upvote 0
