>We have our application in VFP8 and compiled as an exe. We use a launcher program to start the main program after checking for updates on the server. The problem is the launcher is a compiled vfp7 exe. So, when it launches the main program, is still running in vfp7 which causes a problem on my reports where I tried to use the new _pagetotal/totalpages. So I need to figure out how to automaticly update the launcher programer on the remote sites.

Kirk,

I use a VBScript file for this purpose. It's very easy to write. There's a version of a launcher generator that I on worked with John Koziol (pre-MS). Further, if you've got MegaFox, there's another version of it that I provided for Marcia, Andy and Rick.
