How about the fileExists() built-in function? Just pass it the full
path to the file in question, and it'll return boolean for whether it
exists or not.

Thanks all. I read over the link below, however, I need it to monitor this
directory with the use of a form that a user enters the file name so the cfif
IsDefined(FORM.yourFile) will not work.
How can I have it monitor the directory on its own so-to-speak and then tell me
if it finds a certain
You mean like this:
cfif structKeyExists(form, filename)
cfif fileExists(c:\path\to\directory\ form.filename)
File Exists!

I did mention scheduled tasks as a way to initiate a CF page, but I
wasn't very clear with what I was saying overall, was I? With an
event gateway you can actually listen for events and respond, with a
scheduled task you're stuck with polling at a one minute intervals.
