[VB6] File date and time stamp. How to read into variable?

AI Thread Summary
To create a VB6 program that tracks the date and time a file is created and plots this data in a graph, the FileDateTime function can be used to retrieve the file's date and time stamp. The syntax is FileDateTime("C:\Somefile.txt"). For moving files between folders, the VB6 command to use is the Name statement, which allows for file relocation. The discussion emphasizes a preference for VB6 over modern programming languages like VB.NET or C#.

Hello. I am trying to create a VB6 program that would keep track of date and time when a new file was created. And and plot it in a graph.

What VB6 command can allow me to convert file date and time stamp into a variable?
What command can help me move a file from one folder to the other?

Yes I am using the Visual Basic 6. It is simple.
No VB.NET, no C# no modern complex B.S.

Dear Peeps I have posted a few questions about programing on this sectio of the PF forum. I want to ask you veterans how you folks learn program in assembly and about computer architecture for the x86 family. In addition to finish learning C, I am also reading the book From bits to Gates to C and Beyond. In the book, it uses the mini LC3 assembly language. I also have books on assembly programming and computer architecture. The few famous ones i have are Computer Organization and...
What percentage of programmers have learned to touch type? Have you? Do you think it's important, not just for programming, but for more-than-casual computer users generally? ChatGPT didn't have much on it ("Research indicates that less than 20% of people can touch type fluently, with many relying on the hunt-and-peck method for typing ."). 'Hunt-and-peck method' made me smile. It added, "For programmers, touch typing is a valuable skill that can enhance speed, accuracy, and focus. While...
I had a Microsoft Technical interview this past Friday, the question I was asked was this : How do you find the middle value for a dataset that is too big to fit in RAM? I was not able to figure this out during the interview, but I have been look in this all weekend and I read something online that said it can be done at O(N) using something called the counting sort histogram algorithm ( I did not learn that in my advanced data structures and algorithms class). I have watched some youtube...
