GrandFather,

Below are the results. Everything looks right. I am confused.

I want to mention that I saw the following. I have a file with a dt stamp of 11/4 in dir 1. I make a copy of it expecting the same date. It changed the date to the same date of a file with the same name in directory 2. O no. 

initial dt stamp
