Hi Tim This looks good. Is there a way to modify this script to pass the server port too?

Here's a WScript JScript script that might help. Or at least it might get you thinking in other directions. (OLE, anyone?) To run it, just use the Windows cscript program, like this: cscript /nologo OpenUser.js /user:Demo /password:spoon /server:localhost --------------------------------- // OpenUser.js // // Opens Remedy User w/o a splash. // Decalare variables var app, sess, form; var userName, password, serverName; var VISIBLE = 1, INVISIBLE = 2; var AR_SUBMIT = 1, AR_QUERY = 2; var AR_DISPLAY = 3, AR_MODIFY = 4; args = WScript.Arguments; userName = args.Named.Item("user"); password = args.Named.Item("password"); serverName = args.Named.Item("server"); if ((userName == null) || (password == null) || (serverName == null)) { WScript.Echo("Usage:"); WScript.Echo(" cscript /nologo OpenUser /user:useName " + "/password:password /server:serverName"); WScript.Quit(1); } var formName = "Home Page"; // Instantiate the Remedy application object app = new ActiveXObject("Remedy.User"); // Login sess = app.Login(userName, password, VISIBLE); // Open the Home Page form form = app.OpenForm(sess, serverName, formName, AR_QUERY, true); ------------------------------------ What strikes me is how *fast* the User tool fires up when you come at it via OLE. It just pops!

I searched the online help and I didn't see it in the Tools -> Options dialog. I used to think that the splash screen was only displayed because the User Tool was initializing. After testing the v-Go SSO product (nice) I now know that is not the case. When I configure v-Go to automatically log me in to the User Tool my login name and password are entered and submitted, and I am authenticated and completely logged in *while the splash screen is still displayed*. The splash screen now seems to be simply advertisement. With every application I use the first thing I do is turn off the splash screen if possible. It slows me down... I am interested in using the product, not looking at their advertisement. I log into the User Tool to multiple servers about 25 times a day. If BMC has prevented users from disabling the splash screen could someone at BUG asked about this? Thanks.
