Here is an option.
Set the remedy application to open an init form.
Include a hidden field to set the version of the user tool
connecting. 

Use a Active Link to check the version field.
If the version is not what you want. Pop a message to the screen
"blah blah blah download lastest version from here"
Download now?
If yes - Open a form with the url to download
If no -  message "You will be required to download before continuing",
close application

Or something like that.
This should give you the control over the message you want presented to
the user.

You could even get fancy and set up another form to track login and
design it to accept/give 1 grace log in before they will be forced to
download the next time they go to log in.

My .02 cents :)

Subject: Re: Spam:Re: I don't want my users using the old user tool

yes setting the API version is probably the best way. At least for me.
Thanks to Carlos for his precise reference.
Though this solution does not fully satisfy becasue I'd like to have a 
nice message as well explaining the user why he cannot connect anymore 
and what he should do.
The default message coming with the ARSystem could be improved ;-)
The problem is that I don't see how I should set my AL or filters to
fire ?
I have choosen that my users will not open the Home page. So I don't 
want to change this as I have more than 500 users.
And so I don't see on which form my AL or filters should fire.
Maybe I shall better create a hidden form to be opened upon connection 
... hmmm ...
Any other idea ?
