Thanks guys. 

I guess the word I should have searched for was "deploy".  I guess the search's usefulness is directly proportional to the depth of my vocabulary. Hehe

All of the links that Ivan provided were great....yeah this is a common discussion topic.  But in your case here, I would just create an install package using something like InstallAware.  InstallAware is really a pretty good product (especially when compared with some others available).  You will just need to create a install package that deploys each of your components and registers the VFP portions, etc.  Then, you can look at the links that Ivan gave, especially the discussion with Larry Caylor on how to do an auto-update (the top link...I think Smile)

I did a search in forum to see if anyone else asked about this. (worst thing to do is do a search on auto and update) Tongue



Anyway, does anyone have any recommendations on implementing an auto-update feature in an application? My application is right now a strataframe/vfp combo using the Dart component. It doesn't need to be updatable from web. Just be abee to install it on a server, and the clients on network automatically update when a new version shows up.



Any suggestions to point me in the right direction will be much appreciated.



Sincerely,



Marcel
