How do I determine from code the size of the current MS Access file?

The FileLen function will give you the size of the file in bytes. However,
as it says in the Help file "If the specified file is open when the FileLen
function is called, the value returned represents the size of the file
immediately before it was opened."

Is it possible get the current file size from the Windows Explorer? If so, how?
