I need your help...

Here my sceanario:

I have a file in my server
Then a user using his desktop to compare the file in his own desktop with the one in the server.
If it is not the newest one according to the date for the file in his desktop compare to the server one, I want to be able to overwrite the file in his desktop by downloading the newer file from the server.
How can I do that?
Thanks

Drop this one into your project...

Usage:

Sub Form_Load()
    Dim intTemp As Integer
    
    intTemp = CompareFiles("C:\windows\explorer.exe", _
    "C:\windows\notepad.exe")
    
    MsgBox "The newest file is file number: " & intTemp
End Sub

That's the lastbit - checking of the files, this will copy the file:

FileCopy "\\server\file.ext", "C:\file.ext"

And for downloading file, just search the forum.

My server file need a URL like "http://servername/file.txt" to get it out. How to know whether the file in the server is the newest or not.
And when I put the CompareFiles function directly copy in to my program it say no such function.What to do?

In vb, right click on the "project explorer" window on the right of the screen (if you can't see this window - which lists all of the forms & modules within your project, then access this via the view menu) & choose the Add > Add file options.

Pick up the module contained in the above zip file to add this into your project...

There is no need of a VB program. Instead use Briefase.
