Keeping Front Ends Current

Hello all -

I have a split access 2000 database - SQL backend containing all of the data
and tables and approximately 30MB front end with forms, reports, queries,
etc.

The front end runs on about 100 computers, on either side of a T1 WAN. I
keep an updated master copy on a server on each side of the WAN and manually
update each client computer everytime I make a change (ugh)

I am looking for a slick way to automatically check and make sure that the
Front end is the most current version. I tried a simple login script, but
the problem is that everytime you access the local front end it changes the
modified date, so the script always thinks that it has the latest version
and doesn't update the file.

Anyone have any cool ideas? Thanks

- joe
