Greetings,
I'm a low level ColdFusion

<World-Wide Web, database, tool> {Allaire Corporation}'s
	commercial {database} application development tool that allows
	{databases} to have a {World-Wide Web} {interface}, so a
	database can be queried and updated using a {web browser}.

	The ColdFusion Server application runs on the {web server} and
	has access to a {database}.  ColdFusion files on the web
	server are {HTML} pages with additional ColdFusion commands to
	{query} or {update} the database, written in {CFML}.  When the
	page is requested by the user, the {web server} passes the
	page to the Cold Fusion application, which executes the {CFML}
	commands, places the results of the {CFML} commands in the
	{HTML} file, and returns the page to the {web server}.  The
	page returned to the {web server} is now an ordinary {HTML}
	file, and it is sent to the user.

	Examples of ColdFusion applications include order entry, event
	registration, catalogue search, directories, calendars, and
	interactive training.  ColdFusion applications are robust
	because all database interactions are encapsulated in a single
	industrial-strength {CGI} script.  The formatting and
	presentation can be modified and revised at any time (as
	opposed to having to edit and recompile {source code}).

	ColdFusion Server can connect with any database that supports
	{ODBC} or {OLE DB} or one that has a native database driver.
	Native database drivers are available for {Oracle} and
	{Sybase} databases.

	ColdFusion is available for {Windows}, {Solaris}, and {HP-UX}.
	A {development environment} for creating ColdFusion files,
	called ColdFusion Studio, is also available for {Windows}.

	Current version: MX(6), as of 2003-07-11.

	The {filename extension} for ColdFusion files is .cfm

	{Home (http://www.coldfusion.com/)}.

newbie

<jargon> /n[y]oo'bee/ (Originally from British public-school
	and military slang variant of "new boy") An inexperienced user
	of {Usenet} or other system.

	This term surfaced in the {newsgroup} {news:talk.bizarre} but
	is now in wide use.  Criteria for being considered a newbie
	vary wildly; a person can be called a newbie in one newsgroup
	while remaining a respected regular in another.  The label
	"newbie" is sometimes applied as a serious insult to a person
	who has been around {Usenet} for a long time but who carefully
	hides all evidence of having a clue.

	See {BIFF}.

and have a simple question. How can I get the
date of the data

<data, data processing, jargon> /day't*/ (Or "raw data")
	Numbers, {characters}, {images}, or other method of recording,
	in a form which can be assessed by a human or (especially)
	input into a {computer}, stored and {processed} there, or
	transmitted on some {digital channel}.  Computers nearly
	always represent data in {binary}.

	Data on its own has no meaning, only when interpreted by some
	kind of {data processing system} does it take on meaning and
	become {information}.

	People or computers can find patterns in data to perceive
	information, and information can be used to enhance
	{knowledge}.  Since knowledge is prerequisite to wisdom, we
	always want more data and information.  But, as modern
	societies verge on {information overload}, we especially need
	better ways to find patterns.

	1234567.89 is data.

	"Your bank balance has jumped 8087% to $1234567.89" is
	information.

	"Nobody owes me that much money" is knowledge.

	"I'd better talk to the bank before I spend it, because of
	what has happened to other people" is wisdom.

base file

<file system> An element of data storage in a {file system}.

	The history of computing is rich in varied kinds of files and
	{file systems}, whether ornate (e.g., {Macintosh file system}
	for a well-known case) or deficient (e.g., many simple
	pre-1980s file systems don't allow {directories}).

	However, the prototypical file has these characteristics:

	* It is a single sequence of bytes (but consider {Macintosh}
	{resource forks}).

	* It has a finite length, unlike, e.g. a {Unix} {device}.

	* It is stored in a {non-volatile storage} medium (but see
	{ramdrive}).

	* It exists (nominally) in a {directory}.

	* It has a name that it can be referred to by in file
	operations, possibly in combination with its {path}.

	Additionally, a file system may associate other information
	with a file, such as {permission} bits or other {file
	attributes}; timestamps for file creation, last revision, and
	last access; revision numbers (a` la VMS), and other kinds of
	{magic}.

	Compare: {document}.

located on my server. I'd like to report that on the
page where the data is list

<data> A data structure holding many values, possibly of
	different types, which is usually accessed sequentially,
	working from the head to the end of the tail - an "ordered
	list".  This contrasts with a (one-dimensional) {array}, any
	element of which can be accessed equally quickly.

	Lists are often stored using a cell and pointer arrangement
	where each value is stored in a cell along with an associated
	pointer to the next cell.  A special pointer, e.g. zero, marks
	the end of the list.  This is known as a (singly) "linked
	list".  A doubly linked list has pointers from each cell to
	both next and previous cells.

	An unordered list is a {set}.

Take a look at the CFDIRECTORY tag

<language, text> An {SGML}, {HTML}, or {XML} {token}
	representing the beginning (start tag: "<p ...>") or end (end
	tag: "</p>") of an {element}.  In normal SGML {syntax} (and
	always in {XML}), a tag starts with a "<" and ends with an
	">".

	In {HTML} jargon, the term "tag" is often used for an
	"{element}".

	(2001-01-31)

which you can get to at
http://livedocs.adobe.com/Cold Fusion/8/htmldocs/index.html. Click CFML

<language, World-Wide Web> (CFML) A {tag} based {markup}
	language used to create {ColdFusion} applications by embedding
	ColdFusion commands in {HTML} files.

Reference, then click

<hardware> To press and release a {button} on a {mouse} or
	other {pointing device}.  This generates an {event}, also
	specifying the screen position, which is processed by the
	{window manager} or {application program}.  On a mouse with
	more than one button, the unqualified term usually implies
	pressing the left-most button (with the right index finger),
	other buttons would be qualified, e.g. "{right-click}".
	{Keyboard} modifiers may also be used, e.g. "shift-click",
	meaning to hold down the shift key on the keyboard while
	clicking the mouse button.

	If the mouse moves while the button is pressed then this is a
	{drag}.

Cold Fusion Tags. The ACTION="list" is what you want.

Thanks you, this is very helpful. But, this is still a bit

<unit> (b) {binary} digit.

	The unit of information; the amount of information obtained by
	asking a yes-or-no question; a computational quantity that can
	take on one of two values, such as false and true or 0 and 1;
	the smallest unit of storage - sufficient to hold one bit.

	A bit is said to be "set" if its value is true or 1, and
	"reset" or "clear" if its value is false or 0.  One speaks of
	setting and clearing bits.  To {toggle} or "invert" a bit is
	to change it, either from 0 to 1 or from 1 to 0.

	The term "bit" first appeared in print in the computer-science
	sense in 1949, and seems to have been coined by the eminent
	statistician, {John Tukey}.  Tukey records that it evolved
	over a lunch table as a handier alternative to "bigit" or
	"binit".

	See also {flag}, {trit}, {mode bit}, {byte}, {word}.

above my head, as
I'm must beginning. This is what I have, which isn't working:

HEAD:

<CFDIRECTORY directory

<file system> A node in a hierarchical {file system} which
	contains zero or more other nodes - generally, {files} or
	other directories.

	Compare {folder}.

	(1997-04-10)

="../database/" name="GetDate" action="LIST"
filter="*.mdb"> BODY:

<CFOUTPUT> #GetDate.dateLastModified#</CFOUTPUT>

I'm stumped?

Your close. First, the directory must be an absolute pathname

<file system> (Or "path") The specification of a node (file or
	directory) in a {hierarchical file system}.  The path is
	usually specified by listing the nodes top-down, separating
	the directories by the {pathname separator} ("/" in {Unix},
	"\" in {MS-DOS}).

	A pathname may be an {absolute pathname} or a {relative
	pathname}.  The part of the pathname of a file after the last
	separator is called the {basename}.

	(1997-03-10)

or an IP - for
example, <CFDIRECTORY directory="//12.3.123.123/c_drive/" name="getDate"
action="LIST" FILTER="*.mdb">. This returns a list of all the .mdb files,
which you treat just like a query. So you do:

<CFOUTPUT QUERY="getDate">
#dateLaseModified#<BR>
</CFOUTPUT>
