[AccessD] OT: What exactly, do Date Modified, Date Created, and Date Accessed really mean?

It looks like the date accessed really only updates the date part of the
value.  On my system (XP Pro XP2) the time always shows 12:00am.  

I opened a Wireshark file that was created on 9/5 and last accessed on 9/5,
then closed Wireshark.  The new accessed date is 9/7 12:00am.

I want to list the files in a folder on a form so a user can select the file
they want to open.  I can list these three dates to help give more info, but
they don't seem to make sense. 

I think I see that Modified can be earlier than Created if the file was a
copy and hadn't been modified since the copy action.  But what does Date
Accessed mean?  I opened a file, looked at it, then closed it w/o changes.
The Date Accessed did not change.

I did a Google search, but nothing helpful showed up.

Thanks!
Dan
