Jeff,

Just add a LPARAMETERS to your prg that is marked as the Main in the project manager. You can not have a Form as the main because VFP won't pass it the parameters.

>This is why I want to go with the second option - pass in the user ID and password as parameters from the startup command line, if possible. That way, if I want to log in as an administrator or different user on a workstation, I can simply change the start in command line in the properties of the shortcut on the desktop - a minimal effort.
