Are you looking for the Windows file creation date, or the last modification date (which can be earlier than the creation date ) ?

If the last modification date is ok, then just use the File I/O->Adv File Functions->File/Directory Info node.

Otherwise you need to download the OpenG File package with the VIPM. In there is a function that also returns the creation date for a file as shown in the file properties dialog for that file.

I would use "File Info.vi" available from the OpenG toolkit.

In addition to Creation Time, the attached VI also provides Last Access and they are returned as native timestamp controls, where the OpenG while providing more information, returns the data as a U32.  It needs OpenG Error but that can be removed.
