This software sounds like an annoyance. Have you spoken to the vendor and complained profusely? Given that Windows is generally a single-user environment, having this program running in Login mode means that you've basically written off any proper functionality to this computer. Whether this is a limitation of Windows' design, or of the software, I'll let the users decide. In Unix, you could have launched this program without having to log on, or at the very least, you could load it in a shell and then put it straight into the background and leave it there. Then if you wished, you could log in again later and recall it. I have never seen basic functionality like that in Windows. -- Adam Smith Information Technology Officer SAGE Automation Ltd.
