[AccessD] One Accdr (front end) for each User's PC or Share theAccdr file on the File Server

Hi Arthur,

I use two text files, one stored locally and one of the server.

These two text files have nothing in them but the version number

The launcher script reads the contents of both and if they match it just opens the local FE version of Access normally.

If the version numbers do not match then the script copies the latest version.txt file and the latest Access FE from the server and replaces the local copies.

It then open the local (updated) version of the FE.

Cheers
Darry.

Darryl,

That's the approach I was thinking of. How do you check the version numbers? Do you have to open each copy of the FE to find that out, or do you have some other means of storing the version number?
