We have a "system" which produces files then moves them around. The problem is that when the program which creates the files finishes ( and has produced a file ) the next part of the process which moves does not see the file for some time !!!!. As a work around we have put code in that sits there and loops around polling for the file. Which is a bit crap. Does anyone know of a way around this problem with the file system on NT 3.51 Please can you cc your response to:- saeed.choudhary@burnsos.com as pretty sure that will not get much time to look at news groups for next two weeks and then I'm out of here!

You might try memory mapped files to share memory between processes. I would think this would be faster, haven't tried it.

thanks Edward, but one thing I forgot to mentions was the prog we spawn that creates the file is third party and we have no control over the way it works.
