>I am getting data dump on my network from another location. How do I check if a new file has been received periodically in foxpro and is there a command that will update my table based on record key only the fields that have changed? Also will the update interfere with users already using the tables? Help appreciated

Different ways to do this. Here is an easy way to accomplish it, did I say easy?

Try : =adir(myarray,'dump.file') to get the speics on a file name, size, date, etc. and compare that against a table containing recent uploads same details?

Now in a form have a timer event to evaluate the the above approach. If different run your conversion program.
