Hey, heres another interesting method
If you put the following into a property
*Dim objShell, objFolder*
* *
* Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")*
* Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace("[[tFolder]]")*
* objFolder.Items.Item("[[tFile]]").ModifyDate = "[[the date && the
time]]"*
*
*
then you can split out the folder name into tFolder (including trailing
slash) and filename into tFile, then execute it as follows
*do merge(the propertyyouset) as vbscript*
seems to work like a charm
