Remarks

Managing the errors

ceFileTime generates an error in the following cases:

the specified file is opened or the file is locked by another application,
the specified file does not exist,
the name of the specified file is invalid,
the format of <New time> is incorrect.
...

Creation time, modification time or access time

In some cases, the creation time, the modification time and the access time of a file are identical.
In some cases, the modification time of a file does not correspond to the expected value. For example, in Windows CE 5.0, the resolution of the modification date is 2 seconds: the modification second is always even.

Equivalence

ceFileTime and fTime have equivalent operating modes.

The only difference is:

ceFileTime handles a file or a directory found on the Mobile Device (Pocket PC) from a WINDEV application.
fTime handles a file or a directory found on the Mobile Device (Pocket PC) only from a WINDEV Mobile application.
