Dana - Thanks for the reply. The reason the application is run from the server is that it is an ever changing application. The .exe gets recreated often, sometimes even several times a day. When the user launches the application, they are actually running a tiny Visual Basic exe that looks in the target directory for the newest .exe and runs it. This way, I can update an application and the user can run the freshest version by exiting out of the application and restarting it. Since the common updates are not critical updates, but new features being added, I can have a specific user restart the application to get the updates without making the rest exit out.
