Date Problems

[Smee]

I am trying to comparte two dates, One is of a file on an internet server and for this i am using

FileTimeStamp=DateTime.Date(Files(i).Timestamp)

and one in the internal directory

OldStamp=DateTime.Date(File.LastModified(File.DirInternal & "/cats" & DlFolderName & "/", Files(i).Name)

I am getting an error when i make the comparison

Log(FileTimeStamp)
Log(OldStamp)
If OldStamp < FileTimeStamp Then
end if

Even though the dates log correctly

DateTime.Date returns a string. You cannot compare two strings like this. Instead you should keep the "ticks" values and compare these values. Ticks values should be stored in Long variables.
