When I've done this in the past, going the route of creating a WS to do it was going to be too much of a hassle.
Instead, I create an XML file that contains all of the recent versions of the apps and then use MSXML to download the XML file (and parsing it out into its own DBF file) So my version table looks like: CAPP C(30) NVERSION N(5) I do a CURSORTOXML() and then post it up (via FTP) onto a web site (and now it can be ANY web site- doesn't require an IIS for WS) and then grab it down with lox = createobject("MSXML.DomDocument") IF lox.Load("http:/xxxxx.xxx.xxx/version.xml") IF XMLTOCURSOR (lox.xml) ** compare versions ENDIF ENDIF small, dirty and quick - but it has worked fairly well. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
