Timers Question

[liv]

I would like to set up a timer to automatically check for the existance of a
file. When that file is found, I will pull the data from the file into a
program. I don't know how to set up the timer. Please help.

The timer is a component which you drop onto any form. Even though you
put it onto a form the timer is NOT visible.

Set the timer's timeout property (I think it's called this but it's not
hard to find) to the number of milli-seconds before the timer expires and
then an event is raised which you trap.

It's rather easy once you drop it onto a form.
