[AccessD] NTFS new/changed file report by OS in Access

I've done it with VB, so I'm sure it can be done with Access.  It works fine
in NT 5.0 (and up, so that includes w2k and wxp), but NT requires much more
detailed security information, which I never got around to goofing around
with.

Dear Friends
 
NTFS  has the posibilty to report to an app when a new file  is added or
changed in a folder.
So instead of screening a folder for new files app, its rather the OS
that reports to the app that new or changed files are in a certain
folder.
Has anyone tried to use this in Access?
I supose this is some kind of an API call.
This is very true for WXP don't not for W2K.
 
Thx
