Hi,
I am using Win2000 and Access2000.
I need to build build a macro or write a VBA in Access that would screen all
files contained in a directory on my C drive (files are structrured DAT
files [flat files]) and update an Access table with the following
information:
(1) Filename (variable lenght)
(2) Modified File Date/Time
(3) Value in field 25: (that alphanumeric value is inside the file and is of
variable lenght)
(4) Date in field 62, second subfield (that value is inside the file). The
date is in format YYMMDD. So for instance, for ":62M:C050608EU R16695,64
", I need to capture 05/06/08
A single file might contain several times a combination of field 25 and
field 62. The table should be updated with each combination. I pasted a
sample of the aforementioned flat file below.
Can anyone advice on where to start? Thanks
Pierre

(1) Filename (variable lenght)
Look up help in Access regarding the FileSearch object With VBA you
can lookup the file names in a directory.
(2) Modified File Date/Time
The LastModified property only allows you to specify a parameter for
filtering.
(3) Value in field 25: (that alphanumeric value is inside the file and
is of
variable lenght)
I'm confused a little here. Is each entry in the file one field?
Based on your sample data, I can't tell.
(4) Date in field 62, second subfield (that value is inside the file).
The
date is in format YYMMDD. So for instance, for ":62M:C050608EU R16695,64
", I need to capture 05/06/08
Again I'm not sure what you mean by subfield. Your explanation might
make sense to you, but I'm confused without seeing the table structure
and the actual data file.
You can do string parsing to strip out the date as long as there is a
common setup for each field. It appears that the comma (,) denotes the
end of the alphanumeric value containing the date you want, so you
could start at the colon behind the number, check for an alpha
character afterwards and then strip out the date using a mid function.
It's very doable, but not easy unless you are good coder.
Sorry I couldn't be more help.

First up, I am using MS Access 2002.
I have a database which records analyst rating changes for a list of

Greetings,
I am attempting to view all files in a directory and if those files
have not been modified within the last couple days I will remove them.
In order to do this I need to look at the file date modied and check
the date. I know how to look at each file name and I know how to remove
the file. I just can't figure out how to get access to the date last
modifed filed. Below is how I intend to access the file names in the
directory.

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
