Rafael, I use the compiled version of the EXE instead of the datetime stamp. If you update the network, then copy down the EXE, it could get the workstations Date. This would then copy the EXE down every time it is to be run. If you use network date < local date, you will have a hard time if you needed to roll the EXE back to a previous release. AGETFILEVERSION is the function to use for EXE version ADIR is the function to use for the Date. You might want to look at the downloads for a "loader" tool.
