There are obviously cases, though, where you do want the automatic checks to occur at startup. And the "splash screen" approach to segmenting your program also has a couple of advantages that Chipp didn't metion: a) since the process of creating a standalone binds the engine to the mainstack, this then gets attached to the splash screen, making updates much smaller and faster downloads; and b) the user perception of the smaller download is that you're not really giving them a whole new application (you may be), but that it's a minor update, making them feel better about updating the app. -- -Mark Wieder [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ use-revolution mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-revolution
