Hi,

I get system generated .rtf files which are saved in my documents folder. My question is there any way to auto open these files in word as soon as they are created.

Thanks
Suji

"as soon as they are created"

Yes, I suppose. Write something that periodically checks. But that is not auto open as soon as they are created. You have to have something that goes and looks.

Is there a new file?
No. Then do nothing.

Yes. Then open file and do something.

But you have to have something that actually looks, and checks if there is a new file. Word would have to be told to do this, and would only do it if it IS told to do it.
