This could be happening because programs are incorrectly changing the Last Modified Date for some reason. (or is PSPad using some other value or process to decide if a file has been modified by another program?)
My guess is that that is how editors are checking for the file being modified by another program. If that is true, there's nothing you can do. A safety check would be (for PSPad) to perform a (good, long) checksum on the file, as well, and save that. Then, if it looks like the file has been modified, do another checksum on it, just to be sure, and compare those. I wish FTP supported that as a quick and easy way to tell if files have been modified without having to download them. (because sometimes modified date and time and file length don't always cut it) -- <http://forum.pspad.com/read.php?2,53148,53857> PSPad freeware editor http://www.pspad.com
