I'm not sure how you would want to implement this option to your application. But, I just wrote my own updater for my server so I can give you an idea of how I did it. I wanted my server to manageable by itself (update itself and carry on with jobs)... I just used FTP to do my work. I had it connect to an FTP server with its own login and download a "latestversion.txt" file and open it up to read... After it was done checking if the server was the latest version or not, it would take the process necessary using a couple simple algorithms I wrote. Not sure if it helps but if you have any questions, feel free to ask. -Iron Maverickk "Nate" <RNLockwood@fs.fed.us> wrote in message news:4787df72$1@newsgroups.borland.com... > > Rad Studio 2007. > I'd like my ap to be able to check our server to see if an update is > available.
