New version of the Auto FE Updater available

The latest update makes the process of initial user setup much easier.
You will now be able to click on button in the utility and paste a
link into an email for a new user of your application. You will need
to create a shortcut on the server for this option using the
ServerShortCutPath entry.

Other updates include
- using code signing so the "Open File - Security Warning: The
publisher could not be verified. Are you sure you want to run this
software?" message no longer appears.
- a warning message appears if running the utility on a local hard
drive. This can be ignored by using a IgnoreLocalExecuteMsg=yes line
in the AutoFEUpdater INI file
- if required you can turn the read only attribute of copied files
off by using the Set Read Only attribute = off. This means you can
make the FE folder on the server read only for users.
- Added a Licensed To text box to all the forms.
- Set the Access 2010 Trusted Locations

Many thanks to Clif McIrvin for all his work in figuring out an
excellent solution in getting new users going on the Access app.

You're very welcome.

Yeah, but do you want to wait 2 or 3 years for new features to be
added? <smile>
