Is there a rules-based (or nice polished vba function) method for
watching a specific directory for a specific file?

 

I would like to incorporate printing to PDF from Meditech into our
scripting capabilities. I can do this by creating a pdf printer driver
(we have full adobe) that always prints to a specified directory,
specified file. During the creation of a PDF, adobe uses a .tmp file,
once the creation of the document is finished, adobe renames the .tmp
file to the actual PDF.

 

If I was able to "watch" the output directory for the file, I could then
pick that file up and move it to the proper destination/proper name, and
then close out the script.

 

So I would also need some way to turn off the timeout in BWS, as each
file may take some time to create and would be variable.

 

Anyone have any ideas for these two things? 

 

*       Watching a directory for a specified file (likely a vba
function/subroutine)
*       Turning off the timeout in BWS?

 

Thank you,
