Auto FE Updater

Settings - Seldom used

Set Read Only attribute   (optional, seldom used)
A file copied from a location, such as a network share, CD or DVD, that is read only has the read only attribute automatically set. This flag turns that setting off once the file has been copied to the target folder.    This means you can make the FE server folder read only for users.

Note that this option resets all the attributes although most of them won't matter to anyone using the Auto FE Updater.  These attributes are hidden, system, archive and temporary .   (I never knew there was such a thing in NTFS as a temporary file.)  If this is a problem let me know and I'll work on the code.

Launcher EXE Path (optional, seldom used)
The utility will use this path to the StartMDB.exe when it creates shortcuts.  In some unusual situations VB will convert the path it creates in the shortcuts from drive letter to UNC format for processing purposes.   Thus the shortcuts created have UNC paths in them when you want drive letters.

Copy Short Cut From Server  (Optional, default is No.)
Only required if creating shortcuts on Windows NT 4.0 systems due to a bug where the shortcut is created with a path to StartMB such as "\C:\<server name>" and your are using UNC paths to access the server.   See the 'The drive or network connection that the shortcut " refers to is unavailable' message in the Error Messages page for more details.

DoubleQuotesOnShell  (Optional)
Only required if running Access 2.0.

WindowStyle (optional)

Normal focus is the default if nothing is entered here.

• Hide - Window is hidden and focus is passed to the hidden window. (Likely never used.)
• NormalFocus - Window has focus and is restored to its original size and position.
• MinimizedFocus - Window is displayed as an icon with focus.
• MaximizedFocus - Window is maximized with focus.
• NormalNoFocus - Window is restored to its most recent size and position. The currently active window remains active.
• MinimizedNoFocus - Window is displayed as an icon. The currently active window remains active.
