Come on Mark,
writing th etest file is no pb.

Having a vbscript spy on a folder all day every day (without consuming CPU)
waiting for a file to be created in it. That 's the challenge.
Then using the file creation to trigger another action.
Apparently VBA can do that and C.
But vbscript ????

I can get the Windows task scheduler to run a vbscript that will look once
in a folder and see if a flag file is there , or not and execute an action
if the file is there.

TIA

Mosalie
