Okay, I have the ReadDirectoryChangesW API working great.....on Windows 2000 only.(I'll assume it works fine in XP too). My problem now is that I can't get it to work in NT 4.0. It's a problem with the Security attribute. A null value works fine for NT 5.0 and up, but with NT 4.0, it doesn't just use the current security, it needs a Security Attribute with a Security Descriptor, however, that is completely new territory for me! (I've drowned myself in the niceties of w2k, but we have NT 4.0 servers, for the most part, and I want this thing to work on those). The capability of that API is just plain nifty. I can watch file i/o operations even on a remote machine, simply by using a mapped drive or UNC path with the API. Any thoughts? Drew
