Could use PS to get some attributes: Get-ItemProperty -Path "filename" | Select-Object Attributes

Thank you for your quick response. I have never used PS within MS Access VBA so first did some research on that which I was unable to get figured out in a short amount of time.  Eventually I gave up on that path and instead focused directly on PowerShell to see what information I could determine about a file without having to figure out how to integrate a full solution into VBA.  Looking strictly at the PowerShell list of available File Attributes and File Properties, sadly none of them appear to give me a specific value similar to a GUID value.  Any alternate suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks - I'll look into it next.  Probably won't be able to get more time on it today but will hopefully be able to research it by next weekend.
