I checked all the functions in the ottdllbw and also checked many threads at Baanboard.

I need to get the last change time stamp of the file on the client windows machine, compare that to another file on a network drive. Baan is running on Unix / Oracle combination. Baan clients run on windows xp or 7.

Can this be done in a Baan session (on Baan 4c3) ?

Any help is much appreciated.

Yes it can be done. This is how I will do it:

1) write a small VB code that will find the info you want on a file and write the output it to another file.
2) put this file on the Baan server.
3) When the baan session runs, this VB will be copied to the client (server2client function)
4) run it (app_start)
5) copy the result file back to the server and read it.

Oh Wow... I like your post.

Thanks a ton.
