Re: How to copy recently modified files
Thanks Rob, Peder, Cmd F sounded really promising ... until I tried it. There were 2 Word documents in the Documents folder that I knew were created in the last 24 hrs, and they didn't seem to show up at all. Then I found them ... along with several thousand entries in the 'Other' category, along with cache files etc. There are a number of .txt files neatly categorised as 'Documents', but not the 'real' documents I wanted it to find. The search field (magnifying glass) can't filter out the chaff, and no way to focus it on Documents as the base of the search. So Cmd F is not precise enough for what I am after. I think it is back to the find command, this way I can control the search area. Thanks for your assistance. Glenn.

Re: How to copy recently modified files
Oops, just found out how to add Documents as a Folder using the 'Others' section, works fine. Thanks.

Re: How to copy recently modified files
Glenn, You can find files that have been created or modified by using cmd- find on your desktop, using Tiger. Then select Created and Modified options and date / day options.
