Hi, It's XP, but I've just realised I can put the database in a different folder and put a shortcut to the database in the startup folder. However, I have another little problem:
The PC is part of a domain. When the PC boots up it runs a login script to map to the network drives. Sometimes this runs a bit slower than other times. Because the database has tables on the network, if the login script is running slow the database starts up and errors because it cannot find the backend tables.
Is there any way in a batch file to write in a delay of say 30 seconds then open the database? In this case I can guarantee the login script will have run.
