It was a typo that I passed & of FileStatus Object. In the actualy
code I've written it properly.

The last error was set to 0.

I shalll try with the code you specified. But the CFile::GetStatus
working properly with the directories in of local drive but not
working fine with the network file paths.

Ah joy. You have to replace CFile::GetStatus. Often, network/cd
drives/etc have bad dates. When GetStatus reads the info, the underlaying
CTime throws. VC8 does NOT fix this. I've seen cases where
CTime::IsValidFILETIME returns true, but CTime(filetime) throws.

What I did was to copy the GetStatus code from the MFC source. Then
around each status time field do the following (this is based on the VC8
source):
    if (CTime::IsValidFILETIME(findFileData.ftCreationTime))
    {
        try
        {
            rStatus.m_ctime = CTime(findFileData.ftCreationTime);
        }
        catch (COleException* pe)
        {
            pe->Delete();
            rStatus.m_ctime = CTime();
        }
    }
    else
    {
        rStatus.m_ctime = CTime();
    }
