One simple way is to create an ini/text file on your server, and try something like this:

Startup action: current_version = "1.0.0.40";

And then, perhaps use this code in your "Check for Update" button:

connected1 = HTTP.TestConnection("http://www.somewebsite.org", 20, 80, nil, nil);
-- If they are connected.
if connected1 then
-- Download latest version from online ini file
HTTP.DownloadSecure("https://www.yourwebsite.net:443/download/mobiversion.txt", _TempFolder.."\\mobiversion.ini", MODE_TEXT, 20, 443, nil, nil, nil);
-- Note that this ini is in the yourwebsite.net/download/ folder, and must be updated manually.
Application.Sleep(1000);
version_data = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder .. "\\mobiversion.ini", "mobiurlreplacer", "Version");
-- If there was no error during the connection:
if version_data == current_version then
Dialog.Message("Information", "You already have the latest version which is: ".. version_data .."", MB_OK, MB_ICONEXCLAMATION);

else
--version_data = INIFile.GetValue(_TempFolder .. "\\mobiversion.ini", "mobiurlreplacer", "Version");
-- Application.Sleep(500);
proceed = Dialog.Message("Update Available", "The latest version is ".. version_data .."\nwhich you may download from www.yourwebsite.net/download.html \n\nDo you want to download it now?", MB_YESNO, MB_ICONINFORMATION, MB_DEFBUTTON1);
-- If the user clicked YES, then open default download page.
if proceed == IDYES then
File.OpenURL("https://www.website.net/download.html", SW_SHOWNORMAL);
end
end
end

Hope it is of some help. It works for me; let us know if it works for you.
