winapi - Delphi notification when a file gets updated

Question

My app contains documents in its database. The users can open the documents in which case, the document gets saved to a temporary folder and gets opened on the user's computer.

I'd like to get a notification when one of these temporary files are changed, and offer the user to save the changed document back to the database.

What is the most simple way to do this in Delphi7? (I suppose it requires some shell magic or 3rd party component)

Thanks!

You can detect changes in your temporary files (or any file) using the TJvChangeNotify component from the JEDI JVCL collection.
