    Well, if you know how many files are in the folder before you start, you can then check the number of files in the folder AFTER and see if the difference between the two numbers = what you're looking for.

     

    Either way, you're going to want to look at methods in the aqFileSystem object.   FindFiles will find all files in a folder matching a search pattern.  GetFileInfo will get the information (like creation date) from a specific file.  Some adaptation of any of these, I think, will help you meet your needs.
