Displaying latest file in a directory
 

I have quick little page that I need to create but its sounds like the
concept is not so quick.

I have a folder with eight or ten files that can be displayed in a
browser. I need to display the file with the latest creation date. I
imagine there is some kind of ASP function that could like at the
filename's date and pick the file that meets the criteria. How can I do
this?

Do a search at www.aspfaq.com for filesystemobject. You'll see plenty of
examples. Do the same at msdn.microsoft.com/library.
