I am using .net filinfo object.  I have several file in a directory on a
server.  (NT).

When I run a simple check of each files creation date/time I am using .Net
finfo creationTime.
I verify this agains the xp windows explorer looking at the Create Date
Time.  Most of the files are exact while others are off by One Hour.


Thanks,

Rog

Roger,

You are sure that it has nothing to do with a summer/"time saving" time not
set in one of the computers?

I am not sure, but this could be the case.

I did however find that if I use the scripting.filesystemObject I get the
correct answer, but if I use the Filinfo object in .Net I get an incorrect
answer.  Meaning an incorrect answer matching to Explorer.

Makes me think Explorer is using the scripting.Filesystem object.
