You can use API calls to obtain detailed information about a file. See http://www.freevbcode.com/ShowCode.Asp?ID=164 for a class that does this for you.

This will work for you if you can assume that the date the file was last modified is also the date it was last compacted. I know of no specific way to just check for the date the file was last compacted.
