Add-in version check

[Guest]

I keep updating an Add-in for my users every few weeks. each time I call it
with it's new version name (started with Power1.0.xla , but now already
Power5.3.xla)

Is there a way I can put a code on my users workbook - let say on Sub
Workbook_Open() to check that the user has the last add-in version - and if
he/she does not to install the last version for him/her (the add-ins are
saved on a shared drive - so they all have access to it).

Many thanks

Dan

How would the code know what the latest version actually is?

You may want to reconsider some of your decisions (including the naming
convention) and read

I have a sheet called VersionList.xls where in column A I have the list of
all versions - the last entry is the most current one.

This is for an add-in that is saved on the net, mine is saved on the server.
