Flag up documents arrival in a folder

Working in a small network I was wondering if it is possible to have perhaps a ListBox or TextBox populated with the names of files/documents as and when they arrive in a certain folder?
For example if a Word document called "Report-001.doc" was placed in folder named "C:\Reports", would it be possible to code a list/text box on a VB6 form to flag this up by displaying this document's title at the time it arrives.
I know of the DirListbox type but I was looking for a way to flag up the arrival of a document rather than going to look for it.
If it was possible to code this then would it be possible to delete the document from the list after it has been flagged up?
Any help is much appreciated.
 
Yes.

A search in this forum should turn up my FolderWatch code in both synchronous and asynchronous versions
