Here is the scenario:

hFile = CreateFile( lpszFileName, GENERIC_READ | GENERIC_WRITE, 0, NULL, OPEN_EXISTING, FILE_ATTRIBUTE_NORMAL, NULL );

SetFileTime( hFile, &fTimeCreate, &fTimeLastAccess, &fTimeLastWrite );

CloseHandle( hFile );


Whatever time is specified in fTimeLastAccess, that will be overwritten when CloseHandle instruction will be executed.

When I use your code, I the last access time is adjusted correctly. Are you 
sure you don't open the file elsewhere?
