Create a table with the latest version number. then create another exe either in
VB or even access. Put a splash form just for looks and when it loads have the form check the table to see if there is a newer file in the network. If the there is, do a filecopy. do a search on this forum for filecopy or copyfile, i gave someone else all the steps for this about 2 months ago.
Remember fully qualify your sql code with ownername.object name syntax.
