Count number of times file access and printed

Hi,

I have a software with 2 modules. The first one produces 4 files and
the second module reads those 4 files (.dbf, .aaa, .ddd) and prints a
report.I can't change the modules as I don't have access to the source
code but can I build an application which montiors these 2 modules/
files/ printer and gives me the number of times the report was
printed. Better still how many times a unique report was printed.My
basic purpose is to get the count of the unique reports produced. The
report is generated dynamocally and it can only be printed. OS is
Win98

Thanks in advance.

I'm pretty sure this can be done somehow.
Windows might also have a logging option, but in Win98, it would be
harder to find...
