set up a common workdirectory for each user
C:\MyApp\Excelent.EXE
and temporary file locations should be local as well
c:\temp\
In your startup process always check for a version # > the running version
that version # should be stored in one of the shared tables on the server.
If the version of your enduser app is not current, CRY for HELP or copy newest EXE to common directory before restarting app...
