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

Click For 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?

No VB.NET, no C# no modern complex B.S.

Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
