Unless I am mistaken, there is now way to force the client pcs to refresh the cache, this would be a manual process. I am sure the gurus will have to verify that though :) On 3/30/06, Linn White <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I have a .par file stored on a network drive.

They way any binary works is that it is first grabbed from a storage source (network drive, hard drive, CD , etc.. ) from there it is loaded into memory and run. That's a really glossed over version of what happens, as long as they are completely shutting down all instances of the application then opening the parl.exe from the network drive should be fine. Caching should only occur if the application is already running. Your script changes would apply because the executable imports them as needed and "lets go" of them from memory when done. I'm sure you've already checked that you're putting it on the right network drive ... that would be one of those "D'oh!" moments. As for the cache .. I'd concur with the manual process : reboot or some sort of forced refresh. What cache are you talking about btw (and how did you determine this) ?
