This process is much the same as the Auto FE Updater except that the
Update only copies the file as required.

However if your users are on a WAN with servers in multiple offices
then this becomes dangerous. Your home directory might be on a
server a thousand miles away from the backend system. And we all
know how bad Access is over a WAN. (Unless using SQL Server or
similar of course.)

In this case it is the "home drive" on the Terminal Server.

The batch file actually only ensures that the user has "a copy" of the MDE.
When launched, I also have an Auto-Updater that then takes care of whether the
file is the current revision. The "if not exist then" is only required for
users hitting the server for the very first time.
