Gary,
We have a way to stop multiple instances of vantage from being started
on a user's pc. We have finally overcome the last hurdle which was the
options to start vantage with a data collection user or a menu option. We
are working on the installation media right now and I expect to make the
utility available by the end of next week.
The utility consists of a new caesarsplash.exe which will start vantage.
The new executable will detect if Vantage is already running and will not
start a new session.
If you have any questions please call or email.
Thanks,

Has anyone seen where you can stop multiple occurrances of job tracker
and data collection funtions from being run. What is happening is that
some users are minimizing the programs to get to the main vantage
shortcuts and starting another session of data collection or tracker. I
have the timeout utility running and they can't start another session of
vantage, that works very well. I've even put up 8 1/2 x 11 laminated
instructions for Alt-tab and Ctrl-esc to check if another job tracker is
already running. Just today I found 5 dc & 4 job trackers on the
taskbar. thanks for any help. glb.
