Thank you for the answers on my last thread, but maybe I didn't explain my question so good.
The question is that I'm trying to obtain the editing time without open the drawing, I want to acces it to obtain de TDINDWG variable. Is it possible via VB o MS-ACCESS?

Thank you very much again.

I thought that was answered, or rather, the first step of a two step operation was answered.
First, the save command of the drawing to be redefined, as STRIKER described. That is, the code given by Striker is to be a function caled by the new save command. To this, you add the code to add the editing time of the session to the previous editing time of that drawing, preserved in a txt file of same name as dwg.

Second step, to link the txt file to Access, for example - a one time link operation. Everytime Access is opened, the latest values will appear: File name, editing time, etc.

Pity I do not have time to write the whole code, incorporating the main function given by Striker.

Hope this helps a little.
