I found that if you call the script from the Windows Task Scheduler that you [...] I needed to do a little research on how timestamps work in Winders, XP and 2003 server. Creation date later than modified date (“date modified” less than “date created”) In Word XP the creation date of a document can be later than the modified date when saved elsewhere. Microsoft says “When the document is copied [...] I started out with the need to be able to launch a putty SSH window from Excel that had a list of hosts and/or IP addresses.
