Alert

[donnie4564]

I basically receive a transmitted file in the format of a text file which when transmitted is dropped into a folder.

I have been given a 1 hour window to process these files and this forces me to constantly check this folder.

Does anyone know of a way to alert me that a file has been placed in the folder? I need, above all else, dependability.

Thanks for your help,
Donnie

write a script that checks for the existence of the text files, processes it appropriately, renames it with date/time stamp, and moves it to a new folder.

use the scheduler to run the script every 15 minutes (or whatever).

Thanks for reply
So, how would this alert me that the file was moved or renamed?
