Hello all. I am using an older version of the MM framework (MM 4, I believe). I am wanting to implement a system-wide timer, to check for the existance of a file.

lcDataLocation = GoApp.GetSetting(DBCLOCATION_LOCALKEY,APPCLASS)                 && \Program Files\iePoint\Dataxxxx\
if file(lcDataLocation+"broadcast.txt")
   lcMessage = filetostr(lcDataLocation+"broadcast.txt")
   =messagebox(lcMessage,0,'Network Broadcast')
   thisform.cbroacasttimer.reset()
endif

I have this working on a form that runs for the duration of the application, but this is not quite what I need. I would like to build this into the background of the application, perhaps somewhere in the aapp class?
TIA
Amanda
