RunLocal Description

The RunLocal application was designed to be a small tool which copies a file to another directory and then opens the file using the default application. Useful where you have a database application on a server (such as an Access application) with the data in a "back end" on the server where you want to run a front end from workstations to reduce network traffic. It means that when you can update a copy of the front end on the server and users will always get the update the next time they run the program. Usage: RunLocal PathAndFileName || With no switches, the file PathAndFileName will be copied to the default directory - ie the 'Start In' directory specified in a shortcut or the directory from which the batch file or command line is run With the /A switch the file will be copied to the Application directory - ie the directory where RunLocal.exe is located With the /D switch the file will be copied to directory RunDirectory, which will be created if necessary Run the program with no parameters for a simple help screen Example: "RunLocal \MyServerSharedDirMyApp.MDE /D C:Temp" copies the latest version of MyApp.MDE from the server to C:Temp andd then opens C:TempMyApp.MDE.
