Clear Login UserName (1 Viewer)

[Kempes]

Hi all,

I've had a quick search but couldn't find the answer to this.

Is there a way that when a user launches the application via my workgroup file, the default login name is always null?

Currently it retains the last users' login name.

Thanks
Kempes

I trust you are launching with a shortcut that specifies your security file ?

You can use the /user switch without specifying a username, which will present an empty Name field in the logon box. However this has the side-effect of placing the cursor in the password input box, so users have to click or tab back to the (user) name input field.

HTH

Regards

John.

Thanks John,

where is this to be inserted, in the target box within the shortcut?

Not certain about shortcuts, 'cause I typically use a shortcut to a DOS type batch or cmd file.

However... somewhere your shortcut specifies something like...

/wrkgrp "G:\YourDBFloder\YourSecurityFile.MDW"

you can add the /user after this

e.g.
/wrkgrp "G:\YourDBFloder\YourSecurityFile.MDW" /user

As a courtesy for my users I include the users worgroup name with my custom shortcuts.

"C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office11\MSACCESS.EXE" /wrkgrp "C:\Test\MyWorkgroupFile.mdw" "C:\Test\MyTestDB.mdb" /user UserName
