Sorry to be so long replying. I've have a system development running late.

As well as a created event the FileSystemWatcher class has a changed event and this may well do what you want

>It's a good Idea but since the Dazzle file persists between printings I'm not sure it thats the ticket. The dazzle program creates an output XML file that replaces the file on each printing. I guess we could change the name each time and then delete it after we have read it and updated the data set we persist. I will give it a "go" Thanks!
