<QUOTE>
Running AREV 2.12 on Windows Server 2003. We have a program that loops through a process repeatedly reading a DOS file whose content changes.  The program is not recognising when the file has changed, or no longer exists.  How do I force a 'fresh' read?

<QUOTE>Are you using the AREV DIR() function to detect date/time stamp updates?



How large is the file?

<QUOTE>I am using DIR().  The program detects the first change to the file but not after that.  



The file is only about 2kb.
