no matter what you do you will need to use one of the date math UDF's.

here is something that i have in my date math udf folder...

Code:

Function EpocDate($date)
	DIM $y,$m,$d
	$date = Split($date,"/")
	If UBound($date) <> 2 Exit 1 EndIf
	$y=Val($date[0]) $m=Val($date[1]) $d=Val($date[2])
	If $m<3
		$m=$m+12
		$y=$y-1
	EndIf
	$Epocdate=$d+(153*$m-457)/5+365*$y+$y/4-$y/100+$y/400-306
EndFunction


it just turns the date into a number of days that have passes since 1/1/1

some code using the above UDF as an example.

Code:

$file = Dir('.\*.*')
While not @ERROR

	;check to see if we are working witha  file.
	If not (GetFileAttr($file) & 16)

		;return the file age in days vs todays date
		$fileage = epocdate(@DATE) -  epocdate(Split(GetFileTime($FILE))[0])
		
		? 'the File ' +  $file + '	is ' + $fileage + ' days old	' GetFileTime($file)
	EndIf

	$file = Dir()
Loop





I dont know if it can get any simpler....
