Bill,
I did read this, but thought it was outside of my VBA prowness. I'm going to spend some time to sift though it and see if I can figure it out. I just got MS Visual 2008 Express Edition installed on my computer so I can give it a try.
Thanks,
John F.

The script puts a shortcut to the script on the user's desktop and when launched, the script checks to see if the user has the latest copy. If he does the FE opens; if not then the files are downloaded and then the FE opens.

This would be what the user clicks on to check the version of the FE and either update it to the correct version then open the FE, or if the user has the current version, open the FE.
