Automatically version controlling and version upgrading are very important to MIS development and maintenance. The application program can be compiled to the dynamic base by PB, and the dynamic base contains compiled codes for the corresponding base document. So when the development persons release the whole application program, they can only release the dynamic base which contains corresponding functions and build up a special data sheet to record the latest version number of the system. When the newer version is compiled in the system, it can be uploaded to the server by system maintenance tools, and generate a new version number which will be written into the system block renew sheet. Each time when the client application program runs, it will first compare its own version number to the version number in the server. If its version number is lower, it will download, and upgrade automatically. This method provides a solution for Management Information System of large scale database to upgrade and maintain
