>Hi, i have built an executable file which includes all the forms and reports in the project for my inventory system. This exe file is loaded in a shared folder. I have a problem whereby I have to ask or wait for every user to exit the system each time I have made changes and want to reload the exe. Is there any work around method whereby i can reload the exe file while users are using the system.

Yes; give your executable files a different name for each version: MyExe0001.exe, MyExe0002.exe, etc.
Have a small loader program, that does one of the following:
a) Detect the latest version and run it, or
b) Detect the latest version, compare it with the version on the local computer. If the latest version is more recent, copy it to the local computer. Then run the version on the local computer. (This is more efficient, since it reduces network traffic.)
search the download section for "loader".
