also if your new to scripting I'd make the switch to powershell, you
shouldn't have all the mental barriers us vbs guys have!
my .00000000001 cents worth

the equivelant I think would be

ls d:\somedir -rec | foreach {$_.creationtime -lt "01/02/2007"}

if its a remote device then

ls \\servername\d$\somedir -rec | foreach {$_.creationtime -lt "01/02/2007"}
