Frontend Revision or Version Checking

Hi Guys,

Does anyone have a code to check if the frontend version being used is the latest? I have a frontend in the server linked to a backend which I distribute to users via a batch file. The batch file simply copies the frontend unto the users desktop. When I do an update, I simply overwrite the old one with the updated frontend and tell the users to run the batch file again. Any ideas is highly appreciated. Thanks.

Luther

RE:Frontend Revision or Version Checking

I too have a similar setup and distribute to approx 50 users
I have a table that holds the latest release no and I have the release no in the main forms caption. on startup when the main form loads it checks the version number on the forms caption with the version no in the table.
If they don't match the user is informed that they are using the wrong version of code and closes the database.
