How to view exactly what a process is doing?

Writer Matthew Barrera

Is there a handy utility/tool or way of seeing exactly what a Windows process is doing?

The problem I have is my company uses some external software to our stock control and accounting package to manage sales analysis and so on. The stock controlling/accounts software generates some CSV files and the analysis tool has an update utility to update it's own database. I'd like to be able to see exactly how far through the update process this utility is.

Being able to examine the stream of data leaving the CSV files by this update utility's process would be ideal - is that possible?

Having either company change or modify their update procedure is outside the scope of this question. Thanks.
