Check if a file is loaded from harddisk

Hi people,

(Sorry for the bad English, but I'm Dutch).

A few days ago I started programming with VB6. Now I have a little question about it. I want to make a program that looks if a file on my HD is been loaded. If the file is loaded, a MsgBox with: "File loaded" must come up. I hope that you understand my question. And I also hope that someone can help me... ;)

Thanx in advance,
Atmoz

Darn, another Dutchman...

What do you mean by loaded, should your program load the file? And what should it load from it?

No, the program must look at the file. And if I open the file with explorer, then the program must give a MsgBox. I'm sorry for the mis-understanding...

On the internet I have read something about "DateLastAccessed ___ Date and time the file was last accessed."

So if the file is accessed (because I opened it in explorer) then the program must see it.

If I use the DateLastAccessed command, then I only get the Date, and not the specefic time of lastaccess. So I only can check for lastaccess once per day. Anyone know how to solve this problem?

I get this MsgBox form it:

The API GetFileTime will give you the exact time down to a millisecond.
