All,

I am just starting to dig into a new project and was hoping to get a little advice on where I should start. I will be trying bind VFP code to a file write event generated by an outside application (not VFP). This app will be writing to a text file, and I was hoping I could trap this event without adding any code to the outside application. I am hopping I will be able to use VFPCOM.dll (or something inherent to VFP) to bind to a system level event, as opposed to using a timer object & poling the directory for the creation of a text file. I looked into the filesystemobject (Advisor May 1999), but from what I have read, I don't think it will do the trick.

Any advice on getting started is greatly appreciated.

Thanks In Advance,

Nat-
