This must be a common problem

[Stockton.S]

Dear All,

I have written an application which has Data Reports in it and my problem is that I want to be able to add aditional Data Reports as a patch to my original program.

IE without recompiling and re distributing the entire program all I want to do is distribute a patch.

My question is can this be done and how.

Thanks

Simon

P.S. I am willing to change the source code into a compatible format and distribute it so that it will support future patches.

My thoughts on how to tackle this go along the lines of searching for .dCA (data report files) in the app.path and adding them dependant on if it is in the path.

Another thought is to look in the registry for the datareports and get the patch to change the registry to reflect the additional reports

The question is how do I do this and which method is best.


Thanks

Simon
