How to detect new file entering directory

[Zipster]

Hi,

I have a third party program which creates html documents and places them into a specific directory on one of our servers.

How do I create a VB app to listen to the directory for any new files with a positive number?

What I will then do is open the file and change certain aspects.

Thanks for any help in advance.

Use the FindFirstChangeNotification API. There are alot of examples on the Net. Alternatively you could use the Dir function in a Loop.
