I've been using the undocumented ability to run setup in quiet mode. It works with windows 9x but not on NT. (Multithreading issues). I just downloaded Nick's program. I'll check it out.

>If you don't have any success with this file then I can send you what I use. I have been using this idea for many years without any problems. It saves so much time in maintenance. I also extend this idea to the DBCs if I am using remote views. I store the DBC on each of the workstations and my "launcher" executable looks to see if the DBC is the most recent. If it is not then I also copy the DBC files. In addition, I use this wrapper executable to make sure all drives are mapped correctly prior to running my application.
