We considered going with the time-out approach, but certain users need
Vantage most of the day, and wouldnt be very happy being kicked out of
vantage after doing something else for a certain amount of time.
However, that approach could singnificantly reduce the demand for licenses,
and possibly eliminate the need for the "Could anyone not using Vantage
please log out" intercom page so frequently heard throughout the week in our
firm.

You can use a TimeOut parameter/application to close the idle multiple
logins.

Pretty nifty, Matt.
I wonder if there is anything that can be done on the Progress side? I am
still manually going in and killing users with multiple logins...

I use a VB Script file to prevent multiple launches of Vantage. I uploaded
the file to the yahoogroups files section. This script uses WMI (Windows
Management Instrumentation) to see if the "prowin32.exe" process is running,
if it is, it tells the user and exits, if it's not it launches Vantage. WMI
is standard on Win2k and WinME (it also installs with SMS clients), you have
to download it and install it for NT4 and 95/98. The download is at:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?URL=/code/sample.asp?url=/ms
dn-files/027/001/576/msdncompositedoc.xml . Open the file in notepad and set
the 2 variables in the script that customize to your environment...
Â
strCompName = should be set to Your company name.
Â
strVantageLaunch = should be set to the same string that your Vantage
shortcut uses to launch vantage (you will probably only need to check the
drive letter
Â
Replace your current Vantage shortcuts with this script file and change the
Icon to the Vantage icon.

I do not think you can change the time that the startup screen appears. One
of the functions of the Vantage mainmenu.w is to close the startup window,
check database versions and then startup the logon window. Depending on
network traffic, there can sometimes be a delay in the time it takes to
close the splash screen and bring up the logon window. You can try using an
application/program that limits Vantage to running only one copy at a time
on the pc.Â
I've had this problem before mostly with the slower shop pcs (one case, I
had one pc running 27 copies of Vantage at once).

Anyone have any ideas about keeping the startup Epicor logo on till the
login screen appears. I have very impatient users, they will click on the
icon 4 or 5 times then not clear the "extra" login occurances they've
started. I thought I'd try and keep the startup logo on for a while longer
to slow down their itchy fingers.
