remote access has three dates stored in its database for each file...

  actual file date
  upload date
  last download date

when i pull files en mass, sometimes i have to adjust their file dates 
otherwise they get the date i downloaded them... that generally depends on how 
i download them (eg: http ftp etc)... i've got a script that i run that sets 
the file date to the newest file in the archive... then when i import them into 
the filebase, they have the proper "upload" date... lastly i have a process 
that sets the last download date to the upload date so they don't show any 
weird dates...

every time i look at a different bbs package, i hope to find at least all the 
existing functionality i currently have plus maybe something new ;)

there's probably a language macro for that value that you can add to the 
prompt... i'm guessing that MBSE has macros to access the various values for 
the current user's record along with their current location in the message and 
file bases... it seems to be a pretty standard function... the real question is 
how complete is the list ;)
