just to comfirm, IF I use the SP3 or later technique, I have to distribute new copies of the 3 run time files with the new .exe ? ( And get them installed ?

That is quite a task !

I tend to distribute only new modules with the distribution wizard on a CD, most sites I update with PCC Anywhere's smart update, it sends 4 mb in about 30 seconds over a 28k modem, faster than sending a zip file!

anyway, I appreciate the reminder! Wish the Hackers Guide was on line/updated! I can't handle the Microsoft help system !
