I am trying to retrieve the 'last modified' property of a file on the 
IIS server.  I pull the filename from a field in a database and put 
the path into a variable.

1)
dim myname
myname = objRSReport("Path")
response.write myname

^-The above response.write looks like this: d:\rb\Reports\test.rpt


2)
This is my code to get the last modified date:

Dim fs,f
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.GetFile(myname)
Response.Write(" File created: " & f.DateCreated)
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing

^-This returns a 'File Not Found' error.


3)
But if I hardcode the path as follows it works, how come?

Dim fs,f
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.GetFile("d:\rb\Reports\test.rpt")
Response.Write(" File created: " & f.DateCreated)
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
