RE: Force refresh on Netserver Shared Folder on Windows

We've done this kind of thing but never against a NetServer share. Windows has features that allow your app to be automatically notified when a new file appears, but in my experience they're not as reliable as the good-old "timer and manually iterate thru the folder" approach.

Thanks, Richard.

It's a 3rd party redaction app running as a service on the PC.

Normally for other projects we used QNTC and it worked fine, but we wanted to try something easier. The PC application guys are looking into what they can do. I'm surprised it doesn't work though... their software watches a directory for a new file to process. Apparently their app is doing something odd or different to trigger the process when it sees a new file (which, as mentioned, is a Netserver share on the IFS of the IBM i).
