If speed is an issue:
create a template that gets executed at a convient time (every 30 mins?)
and CFDirectory travereses the tree and adds the name/path of modified
files to a sessionvar|query|db|xml|text-file
(and also make it possible to trigger that on request)

| Stephen,
|
| CFDirectory fails the speed consideration, when enumerating
| sub directories
| it isn't fast enough, especially when you can't count on Windows 2000
| delivering a last modified date that is relevant to all files in all
| subdirectories for a given directory. If Win2k did that, then
| it would be
| quite fast enough as I'd only have to recurse the directories
| that contained
| changed items instead of all of them.
|
| In other words, to use CFDirectory, I have to actually traverse every
| directory in the file structure and compare the
| lastModifiedDate with the
| time frame I'm interested in (say 24 hours). This operation
| takes roughly 60
| seconds, which is entirely too long, when all I'm interested
| in is the files
| that were modified in the last day, frequently only about 10 or so.
|
| So, actually there are 3 goals:
|
| 1) has to talk to CFMX
| 2) has to work on win2k
| 3) has to be fast, goal is roughly 10-15 seconds.
|
