I don't know if such techique exists... I have some projects that monitors specified folder (and subfolders) for changes, and then I look what file(s) is(are) changed. I haven't found any time-delay problems. I hold the previous files state (file size or file attributes) in INI file and then compare it with changed once. I suppose that the notification module you have is a class, so can you make a couple of notification objects (not only one) which will decrese the number of files to monitor? The problem I had with *all* change notification classes I found so far was that the event is trigered *multiple* times for one event ?!... In practise, that means, when I have to do something (when the change arrises), my processing code is executed multiple times for the same set of data. -- Best regards, Vladimir Stefanovic
