I just happened to be looking at a similar issue myself. In my case I'm using a temp database and trying to delete it after a period of time and create a new one in its place. The odd thing is that after deleting and recreating it, it retains the same creation date.
From what I found it's a little difficult to set the created, modified, and accessed dates but I found some code that will do it.
While it does not recover a changed created date, it will allow you to set it to whatever date you want.
In the VBE, go to the file tab and select import files and import these 3 .bas files. The modTest.bas file is just for testing and the other 2 are required.
You can call it with something like:
Code:
Call SetFileDateTime(PathToTheFile, YourDesiredDate, FileDateCreate)
Replace the path and date with what you want. FileDateCreate is the argument to set the created date, as opposed to the modified and accessed dates..
