I'll let you play a bit with this one. But here's some clues: the line: set f = fso.Getfolder(...) stores a LOT of info about the folder in the structure "f". One attribute is "datelastmodified" (look in the Help) so.. I'm guessing that the timestamp is for the subfolder, so you'll want to get the folder info about the subfolder:
(set f2 = fso.getfolder(cells(I,1) & "\" & sf.name)) fs2.datelastmodified will be the datestamp of the folder. You can use DateDiff (check the help!) to see if they are different... see what you can come up with..
