I am looking for the code of VBA to monitor the modification of folder. I wonder if you could provide several lines of the program.

I will use my own VBA programmable interface. So what I need is the code of “monitoring” the any modification of the folder. I will use also my own “notification”, which has been written down in VBA.

I appreciate it very much if you could help!

Sincerely

I had the impression that FindFirstChangeNotification and FindNextChangeNotification APIs could monitor files but it seems only possible to use them for directories and directory tree.

BTW, I’ve added to my ‘To do’-list to make a write up about FileSystemWatcher on the .NET platform.

All the very best from,

Just for fun I made a test with Windows 2000 (English SP-4) and Excel 2000 (English SP-3)and it works great when it comes to creating and deleting files in a folder.

BTW, have You considered to use Windows API instead?

All the very best from,
Dennis
