Hi All When I do auto web updates, I get my program at the client end to download a small dat file every time they run it, it then checks reads the lines about 4 or 5 and gets the current version on the web, then looks and the version of the exe or the Database, if these are different then the program knows there is a newer version on the web and asks if they want to download it, if they say yes, then the program closes and runs a downloader program which will download the zip file, unzip it into the folder and run any Db updates it requires

Hi It is getting to the stage where my customers expect my software to have an 'auto update' feature. Initially I am looking at the ability of my app to be able to look at my server and check to see if there are any new fast-report files there. If there are it should download them to app's directory. I have not previoulsy programmed anything like this so could someone point me in the right direction please!?!?
