You do not need to get the users out for that. What you need to do is to have a loader exe. All this exe will do is check which is the latest exe file and call that. What I do is have a DBF file called LATEST.DBF with 1 record and 1 field. In this field I keep the name of the latest executable file. The shortcut points to loader.exe which has the following code

LOCAL lcEXEName,lnEXE,laEXE,lcEXESource
use latest
lcEXEName=alltrim(Latest)
use
lnEXE=ADIR(laEXE,lcEXEName)
if lnEXE=0
   lcEXESource='\\Server\Shared\'+lcEXEName
   COPY FILE (lcEXESource) TO (lcEXEName)
endif
do (lcEXEName)

So when updating, I give a new name to the exe and put that name in latest.dbf. The next time the person starts the software, he will get the latest exe to run.

Tushar
