[VB6] GetFileTime() help

[Ringo]

Iv got my self stuck on getting file time from a file and checking it with the file time from bnet. (it was ages ago i done anything like this)
I googled up the functions i need (and a few more) and have played around with them for awhile, but i need somone to refresh my memory.

I must be doing somthing wrong, or not calling a function i should be.
BnetDocs has been down since yesterday, so i havent been able to check any infomation on it (if there is any)
Any help would be great, thanks in advance!

hmm, *bump*
I might have asked wrongly, im having problems getting the correct file time from a file that matchs/is anything like the file time sent by battle.net servers.

00 AC 41 43 25 0B C5 01
Is Battle.net's file time for IX86Ver3.mpq, but im having problems checking it.
Can anyone please explaing to me what steps need to be taken to produce the correct value to check?
I cant really add the FTP protocol to my bnet server project untill i get round this, so any help and i will be mostly greatfull!

Thanks in advance!
