I use the bat method to update clients' Front Ends.
Searching the forum to find a better method, I noticed there's a starter app method too.
So far I see @isladogs @arnelgp & @bastanu suggesting using a starter app.
I have several questions for you if you prefer starter over bat.
I will add when (if) I remember what I had in mind.
Thanks for your insight on this.

- What happens if a user runs the FE without using the starter app? The starter shortcut is sitting on the desktop or anywhere else, but a user can always launch Access and select the FE from the history. In this way a version check will never occur.
- Is there any way to hide Access Splash screen in the starter? I have a splash screen when the starter launches, then another one for the FE.
- How do you update the starter? The only way I can think of is the starter updates FE, and FE updates starter.
