Thanks Nick. I have that covered. I was wondering on the delivery of the NEW version because our updater is working. Only problem is that the newer version is not a good file. The overnight Traffic on our network is delivering corrupted files to about 20% of our locations. I am looking at email as the new delivery agent and then VFP checking and updating if necessary.
