>No I dont make my own setup program. What I do is use the VFP Network setup to create its files out on our network (the cab files). I instruct the user to go to a certain drive adn directory where they will find the setup.exe. They run the setup.exe to have my application setup locally on their machine. Now when I fix any bugs or make enhancements I run the VFP setup to create the files on the network. The above code in my app check the network cab files and if they are more recent than the user exe my app comes up with a message box telling them to go to that drive and directory to reinstall their application. This way they dont run an old version.

AH...I see, said the blind man...however, here's my problem...going from your scenario above, when they go and run the new setup, it won't overwrite the program .exe on their machine, instead it just goes thru the motions and does not update anything.:( I'm using VFP 6, have you heard or seen this type of problem?
