Hello,

I have created an application using AHK and I compiled it so it can be executable. I have shared it on a share drive; however, I am always running into problems when I try to replace the exe file after making changes because it is very likely that someone else has it open. How can avoid this? Any suggestions? In my case it is important for me to keep it shared because I am constantly adding things to it.

Thank you in advance,

Jeng

have an update list.
keep the old files but put the new ones in as well.
filename: file.date_last_update.exe

Or in the file include a update check in the code to tell the user if the file has been updated.
