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: http://www.pacific.net/~ken/software/ /gustav >>> d.dick at uws.edu.au 20-12-2004 03:42:26 >>> 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
