>Also my colleague created a little stab program. This program checks if the new version of the main application is available (somewhere on the server) and copies this new exe to user's workstation.
I've never heard it called a stab program. It's either called a loader or a launcher.

>>Hi, I need to deploy the Application that I´m developing in a Windows XP SP2 network with only 3 Workstations.
>>One of these Workstations will perform Client and Server functions, since SQL Server will be running on this machine.
>>I know that is far from being the perfect environment...
>>In the Workstation that will function as a Server, I´ve created a Directory ROOT) with:
>>
>>- Executable File.
>>- FOXUSER.DBF/FPT
>>- GDIPLUS.DLL
>>- METADBC.DBF
>>- MSVCR71.DLL
>>- VFP9R.DLL
>>- VFP9RENU.DLL
>>- VFP9T.DLL
>>
>>Inside the ROOT Directory I´ve created a DATA Sub-Directory with:
>>
>>- MERE MORTALS FILES (APPINCL, CLASSES, ERRORLOG, GROUPS, ID, MMCNTRLS, MMSECURE, MSGSVC, REPOLIST, STATES, USERS AND USGRLINK)
>>- DATABASE FOR VFP FILES/VIEWS
>>- DATABASE FOR SQL SERVER VIEWS
>>
>>From the "Server" WorkStation everything is working fine.
>>
>>In the "Clients" WorkStations, first I´ve created an shortcut of the Executable File, but it didn´t work.
>>How can I configure the Workstations?
