how to pick up latest file?

[dave]

Hi there
I wanna write asp code to pick up *.MAI from particular
folder and read them. There is no problem with reading
the file but how can I pick up the latest file from
particular folder?
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanx

You can stuff them into a recordset and sort them.

Use the File object, from within a file collection. See:

Dtae Created or Date Last Modified, depending on what you need. Maybe
drop the entire Files Collection into an array and sort it.
