RefreshingHi, on the ListBox I added the FileName + Date/Hour of the file. If the
directory (Dir_Change) changes, the listbox is repopulated. But if the user modifies the file on other program, I'd like to repopulate (refresh) the listbox with the new file Date/Hour... Do you know if it's possible to be done ? Thanks Using VB6 Use a timer to periodically scan the folder to see if the last modified date
has chanced and update the listbox item. You would have to read this attribute at the start and persist it in an associated array.
