Approval at File and Folder level

Hi,
I'm afraid the is not an easy solution for this even with a third party product. Normally you can catch the following events when working with files: a file was added/modified/deleted, but not when it was accessed. Of course, this is something Microsoft does with its audit log mechanism, but AFAIK we don't have an easy way to detect real time access to files and folders and trigger an approval process
