>>Don't worry about your English, your meaning is clear. What we do is have a 'wrapper' program. This program checks the date and time of the EXE against a copy on the user's C drive.

Carlos, our Wrapper is a VFP EXE with one prg and no forms. All it does is check your program EXE on the network for date and time and compare it to a copy on the user's C drive. If the program EXE is newer than the one on the C drive, the wrapper copies the EXE. Its last command is to run the program EXE on the C drive.
This method was used for two reasons: We wanted to have the EXE on each user's C drive for speed and to cut network traffic, and we wanted to be able to update the EXE without closing everyone out of the system.
