OBJECT:
Folder
object.GetFolder
("foldername")
Before we can access and manipulate the various properties of a folder, we have to create an instance of the Folder object.
The following code uses the GetFolder method of the FileSystemObject object to obtain a Folder object and view one of it's properties.
Code:
<%
Dim filesys, demofolder, createdate
Set filesys =
CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set demofolder =
filesys.GetFolder("foldername")
createdate =
demofolder.DateCreated
%>
