You would have to write a bit of ASP or ASP.NET code for
this. For example, add this code to your <head> section:
<%
Dim fso
Set fso = Server.CreateObject
("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Function FileDate(aURL)
Dim finfo
On Error Resume Next
Err.Clear
Set finfo = fso.GetFile(Server.MapPath(aURL))
If Err Then
FileDate = Err.Description
Else
FileDate = FormatDateTime(finfo.DateLastModified, _
vbLongDate)
End If
End Function
%>
And then add code like this wherever you'd like to
display another page's date of last update.
<%=FileDate("default.htm")%>
In place of default.htm, you can code any relative URL
you want. (Some hosts, however, won't allow URLs
containing "..")
Because this is ASP code, it will only work on Windows
servers. Furthermore, the page that contains the code
must have a filename extension of asp.
If you have a Unix host, you'd have to write something
similar in PHP, Perl, J2EE, or whatever the host supports.

You switched from "date" to "data" here. If you really
mean "data", the answer depends greatly on what kind of
data and what you want to do with it. To get a useful
answer, please provide more detail on what you're trying
to accomplish.
