Hi Darren

> a download of a new version should occur.

How? Wouldn't that be via FTP?
If so, as you will have to fire up an FTP session for the update, I
would say the simplest way would be to check the version via FTP too.
One option is Windows Command Line FTP:

Thanks to all who responded
I will keep away from the WinHTTP object
Some of my clients are still using Win 98 (And it's not even Second
Edition<sigh>)

Here is the scenario

All I have is a text file that has a version number of that particular
app.

I want my apps to look for this text file - read the contents and see
it
says 6.00
Now, if the current version of the app that is looking at this text
file
happens to be version 5.95 - 
a download of a new version should occur.

I just wanted to put this text file in a public place eg a web site

I actually don't wanna download the text file - just read from it

Simple right??

Anyway back to the drawing board

Again many thanks to those who responded

I will be using the download code from Gustav - it looks cool Thanks
Gustav

See y'all

Darren
