This work great! Takes me back to the old days.

Now the only question remaining is:
What are the additional parameters for the Shop/Shop employee login
for data collection?

• Rob McFarlin, Controller
• Accel Group, Inc.
325 Quadral Dr.

• (330)336-0317 x114

No... You have to create a shortcut that has the full command
line in it such as x:\progress\bin\prowin32.exe databasepath inipath...
etc. Avoid the .vtg shortcuts. They are associated with vantage.exe
and that is what is causes the problem.

Here is an example of how we start vantage. This does away with the
.vtg files.

H:\progress\bin\prowin32.exe o:\vantage\db\vantage.db -ininame
o:\vantage\vantage.ini -pf o:\vantage\db\vantage.pf -T c:\vntgwork
-param VantageTranslator=YES -N TCP -S vantage -H vantage -cache
vantage.cf -p mainmenu.w
