As far as I know, VB programs don't update themselves. &nbsp;<br />
The best you're likely to get is that their dependencies will get updated when a newer OCX or dll is installed by the user.<br />
<br />
Since you mentioned Access, a project I'm working on will rely on the A-2000 DB for most of its updates--by design. &nbsp;When we ship a new version of the DB, the customers will get the updates.<br />

I'm currently developing a db in A2K and the frontend will set locally, while the backend is on the network... &nbsp;There will be version updates at least once every two to three weeks, and I don't want to go to every single persons terminal to update their copy on their local drive... &nbsp;I'm working on a few things to update but not sure how it's going to work...<br />

Great idea, Dennis!<br />
<br />
So to summarize:<br />
<br />
Replace the Access link with a link to a Windows/VB program which:<br />
* checks for updates<br />
* downloads and installs those updates as necessary<br />
* starts Access<br />

Is there a way to do this with an Access 2000 database???<br />

Version update

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
