Yup. Use the FileSystemObject.

vb Code:
Original - vb Code 
  1. Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  2. Set objFile = objFso.GetFile("myfile.doc")
  3. Wscript.Echo objFile.DateLastModified
GetFile accepts a single string attribute that is a full relative or absolute path to the file.

That's partially because that's not VB6 code. The majority of this code should work, providing you added the proper Dim statements. However, there is no Wscript object in VB6 so it would hang on the last line. We'll change that to a VB MsgBox instead. While we're at it, let's make a few small changes to accomplish this task properly. Here's the correct method of connecting to the FileSystemObject in VB6. Try this:
VB Code:
Original - VB Code 
  1. Dim objFso As New FileSystemObject
  2. Dim objFile As File
  3. Dim response As Integer
  4. Set objFile = objFso.GetFile("myfile.doc")
  5. response = Msgbox(objFile.DateLastModified)

The example I posted was for VB6, in VBS there is not AS command so it has to be written slightly differently.

vb Code:
Original - vb Code 
  1. Dim objFso, objFile, response
  2. Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  3. Set objFile = objFso.GetFile("myfile.doc")
  4. response = Msgbox(objFile.DateLastModified)
