modification date for tables

hey all,

I was wondering if there was any way to get the modification date for
a given object in a database..

I've got a list of databases, and I'd like to reclaim some space - but
I'm constrained because I don't know who - if anybody - is using them.

Anybody know how to do this? I don't - for example - see any mdate in
the sysobjects table..

Thanks,

Ed

You could use auditing, but only looking forward.

However, are you really trying to find out when an object was most
recently
modified, or if it is currently being used? If the later, the MDA
monitoring tables can tell you whether objects are being used
(monOpenObjectActivity).
