Hi All:

I am trying to think of some ideas wherein I can generate only 1 update which can be applicable to all clients. Currently I have the following situation.

- Each new client's Clinic Number is entered
- The Number of Licensed users is entered
- The Version (Standard/Premium) is entered.

The click event of the GENERATE button compiles the executable and is then is ready for distributition to the client. I do not use the wizards. The data files are stored in one directory and the program file is stored in another.

Given this scenario, each time there is an update, I have to go thru the same process again (clinic number, number of users and version). Then the executable is compiled and I put it on CD for the user. Problem is that if I have just 1 or 2 clients I can manage this - but what if the number clients increase. I would just like to come up with and execuatble that can be applied to all users who are licensed (i.e. have a clinic number hardcoded in the program).

Your advise will be very much appreciated. Thanks again.
