SetAttr statement SetAttr Statement [Runtime] Sets the attribute information for a specified file.

Syntax: SetAttr FileName As String, Attribute As Integer Parameters: FileName: Name of the file, including the path, that you want to test attributes of. If you do not enter a path, SetAttr searches for the file in the current directory. You can also use URL notation. Attribute: Bit pattern defining the attributes that you want to set or to clear: Value 0 : Normal files. 1 : Read-only files. 32 : File was changed since last backup (Archive bit). You can set multiple attributes by combining the respective values with a logic OR statement.
