Thank you for your help

I may be wrong, but I don't believe you'll be able to do it that way. I believe that information is NTFS metadata information, so it's file-system related, meaning you'd have to look at Windows NTFS file I/O functions.

Ok, I will search about that... Thank you for you help.

If somebody had already done that, please write me...

The following post in tek-tips points to some mroe information and has links for the functions in the Windows API that you'll need.

I find how to do it, with the report generator for MS office, it's easy to do it... Just be carefull with the security of the macro in excel...

Interesting. Don't have the Office Report toolkit, but good to know for the future.
