   remote access has three dates stored in its database for each file...   
      
     actual file date   
     upload date   
     last download date   
      
   when i pull files en mass, sometimes i have to adjust their file dates   
   otherwise they get the date i downloaded them... that generally depends on how   
   i download them (eg: http ftp etc)... i've got a script that i run that sets   
   the file date to the newest file in the archive... then when i import them   
   into the filebase, they have the proper "upload" date... lastly i have a   
   process that sets the last download date to the upload date so they don't show   
   any weird dates...   
      
   every time i look at a different bbs package, i hope to find at least all the   
   existing functionality i currently have plus maybe something new ;)

    AI> I look in the language file for that too?   
      
   there's probably a language macro for that value that you can add to the   
   prompt... i'm guessing that MBSE has macros to access the various values for   
   the current user's record along with their current location in the message and   
   file bases... it seems to be a pretty standard function... the real question   
   is how complete is the list ;)
