There's a CSV file at the path: C:\Users\Me\Documents\data_files\quotes.csv

I have a different file (mainfile.xlsm) open in which I want code that will fetch the date the quotes.csv file in the directory above was last modified, and paste it into cell A1. Anyone help? Thank you!
 

Excel Facts

Bring active cell back into view
Start at A1 and select to A9999 while writing a formula, you can't see A1 anymore. Press Ctrl+Backspace to bring active cell into view.
Here you go:

Code:
Sub lastmod()

Range("A1")  = FileDateTime("[COLOR=#333333]C:\Users\Me\Documents\data_files\quotes.csv[/COLOR]")

End Sub
