Yes, but Mark, if that was a problem I would merely test for the lastmodified flag using plain old params in the xcopy. But its not a problem. Everybody gets a fresh version at log on which takes, typically 15 seconds as part of the boot up - users don't even notice it. Horses for courses. This one is not for me, but thanks anyway.

This tool is for the USERS and it prevents always making the sometimes slow copy from the network to their local drive. The copy is only made if the date/time stamps of the server version are newer than the local copy. > -----Original Message----- > From: accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com > [mailto:accessd-bounces at databaseadvisors.com] On Behalf Of Max Wanadoo > Sent: Wednesday, October 07, 2009 11:53 AM > To: 'Access Developers discussion and problem solving' > Subject: Re: [AccessD] Invalid Password > > Thanks Mark, but this doesn't do anything other than what I > am doing now. > > I sit at the dev copy.
