Looking to add the date into cell "C4" from the Date Modified listed in the explorer

Thank you and God bless,
Craig
 
If you can use vba code, try the following
Fairly certain that (filespec) needs to be the path to a file as in
"C:\Users\Micron\Documents\Excel\myFileNameHere.xls"

In order to get info into a cell, you'd need to change Sub and End Sub to Function and End Function and place that function into a standard module.
You'd enter =ShowFileAccessInfo("C:\Users\Micron\Documents\Excel\myFileNameHere.xls") in a cell and then Enter to run it. Make sure you use your own file path and not what I posted.

I just noticed that the code is not proper for returning a value to the cell. More like this (including the change to a function and only returning what I think you asked for).
VBA Code:
Function ShowFileAccessInfo(filespec)
    Dim fs, f, s
    Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    Set f = fs.GetFile(filespec)
    s = "Last Modified: " & f.DateLastModified
    'MsgBox s, 0, "File Access Info"
    ShowFileAccessInfo = s
End Function
