is it possible to update a program created from VB 5, I've a small network at home (5 pc's) I've a program that I regularly update and at the present I copy it to the other 4 pc's, what I'd like to do is put the newly updated program on a server and for the program on each of the client pc's when fired up check to see if the program on the server is a newer version and if so copy it self to the client.

I have a program written that will do that for VB6 (although not completely tested), i don't know if it will work the same for vb5, as i've never worked with it....if you are interested, let me know and I will post the project

Ok, the way this works is that this is actually what opens everytime you want to run the program....if you create a shortcut on the desktop, or in the start menu, it must link to this....., once this program opens and copies over the newest version, it will open the program you initially wanted to run....
Like I said, it has not been fully tested, so please let me know if you come across some bugs or even suggestions if you would like. The class that is provided was used from another source, so I can't take credit for coming up with that.....
hope this will help you out.
by the way, make sure to put in the File name variables before running (I guess that could have gone without saying..
