Thanks Jim,

I tried this but it didn't find any files. I then touched a new file and put in in a subdirectory under where I stated and it didn't find it.

I then touched another file in the root of where I am starting my search and it was found using the following command.

- first the touch command for the file I am looking for.
Code:
#touch ~/data/repository/thumb/vol1/fileone

- now the touch for the file dated 1/10/2011
Code:
#touch -t 201101100000 ~/DATEFILE

- now the find command that didn't work
Code:
#find ~/data/repository/ -newer ~/DATAFILE -exec ls -la {} \;

This returned all folders and files in this folder, not just the ones that were newer than ~/DATAFILE.

Additionally, I touched another file as today, and placed it on ~/data/repository and this one was also returned along with all folders in the ~/data/repository location.

Did I explain this well enough? Does this make sense?
