Re: Access Denied error on calling CFile::GetStatus() function

Hmmm, I didn't know your problem was with an exception. I also did the same
sort of thing a year or so ago with this function for the same issue. I
just call this instead of the CFile version. Sorry, I didn't know you had
the same problem and I didn't know they "didn't" fix it for 2005 since I
don't use that function in CFile any longer. I'm surprised though. We've
been griping about it failing on invalid dates since around version 5 :o)
and the fix is pretty easy.
