Determining file size in VB

[Natya]

How do I determine the size of any file in a certain directory? (In VB 6.0)

[dfwade]

the filelen(filename) function will give up the size of the file
filedatetime will give the date and time last modified.

'1 filelistbox
'1 command button
'select a file from file list box, then click on command button

Option Explicit

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim lngFileSize As Long
lngFileSize = FileLen(File1.FileName)
MsgBox "File Size: " & Format(lngFileSize, "###,###,### bytes")
End Sub

If it's an open file, you can use the LOF() function

open "test.txt" for binary as #1
msgbox LOF(1)
close #1

Dim filesys,f As Object
Set filesys = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = filesys.GetFolder(folderpath)
Msgbox f.Size
