<Result> = fTime(<File or directory path> [, <New time> [, <Type of time>]])
<Result>: Character string - Time associated with the file or directory (in HHMMSS format),
- Empty string ("") if an error occurred. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo with the errMessage constant.
<File or directory path>: Character string - Name and full (or relative) path of file (up to 260 characters).

A UNC path can be used. If this parameter corresponds to a directory name, this name may (or may not) end with "\".

- Reading a time: empty string ("").
<Type of time>: Optional constant Indicates the time to use: | | fAccess | Time of last access to the file or directory. | fCreation | Time of file/directory creation. | fModify (Default value) | Time of last modification made to the file or directory. |
Remarks All the methods for disk formatting (FAT, NTSF, ...) are not precise to the second. Depending on the method used, fTime may round the time passed as parameter For example, for a FAT drive, the time for file access has a precision of one day. Therefore, the access time is "000000" and it cannot be modified. fTime throws an error in the following cases: - the specified file is opened or locked by another application,
- the specified file does not exist,
- the name of the specified file is invalid,
- the format of <New time> is incorrect. A WLanguage error occurs if the format of <New time> is incorrect.
- a Unicode string was used for <Path of file or directory> in an operating system such as Windows 98 or Windows Me.
Operating mode in the different operating systems - The time associated with a file or a directory cannot be modified in the following systems: Windows 98, Windows ME.
