Hi James,

The detailed version of the files function returns, among other 
things, the modification dates for each file in the defaultFolder. 
So one needs to:

A.  Save the defaultFolder if it needs restoration
B   Set the defaultFolder to the folder containing the file
C.  Get the detailed files
D.  Parse the list to find the line for the file*
E.  Get the date as item 5 of that line
F.  Restore original defaultFolder, if necessary

*Note in step D that the file's name is returned URL-encoded.

Now you have the modification date.  How you get the Windows server 
to retain or reset that date is beyond my scope of experience.
