I believe there is a way, but I'm not sure exactly. Just in case I searched here (in Windows & VFP forum), but the best I could find is to use NET FILE command.

May be something like FileMon would be helpful here.

I guess I now need to use google search.

Unfortunately here is a different program used for search (not google).

Anyway, here is one link

and let me try google search.
