You have to cache the original value of the property or properties you are
interested in. Even if you handle Item.PropertyChange or
Item.CustomPropertyChange you'd only get the name of the property that was
changed and reading its value would return the new value, not the original
value.

You can handle the ItemChange and ItemAdd events of the Items
collection of that folder. When an item is saved or added in that
collection you will fire those events. You can also monitor for items
being opened (NewInspector event of the Inspectors collection) and
handle the Write event to get changes before the save is made. That
won't work with in-cell editing in a folder view however.
Ken ... can I trouble you again ...
You say that I can use the Write event to get changes before the save is
made. I've got the event hooked up and firing okay. I've got the item
which is about to be written so have the new value. I don't understand how
you were thinking I'd get the current existing value of the item.
I know I'm being a bit slow here.
Thanks
