You should start thinking about an automatic update procedure so that you
don't have to visit each station every time there is an update. There are
several ways to easily accomplish this. All my programs consist of a main
program and a small loader program. All the loader program does is check a
network setup location to see if there is an updated program. If there is,
it copies it to the workstation automatically and then runs the main
program. The main program, also, checks for the existence of a new loader
program. If there is one, it copies that so the next time the program is
run, everything is updated. The desktop/startmenu shortcut, of course, must
point to the loader program.

IMO, it is a simple problem to overcome.

As to the central location running from a network, everything should work
fine AFAIK.
