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
