Bill,

You also bring up another point that I need help with. I really don't want to copy the files locally onto the workstation, because we have a host of developers that claim that their code is wrecked whenever ANY file is copied to their PC. So, even though I know that kix files won't hurt a PC or applications, I prefer not to battle these developers and run the files from the server. If I exclude the copy statements, will this cause a problem?

5. It appears once you hit the section COPY, you will also execute the section KIXCOPIED, as there is no additional GOTO to bypass.

6. This section of batch file:
IF NOT EXIST %0 GOTO NOEXT
%KIXDIR%\KIX32.EXE %0 $kixscript="%KIXDIR%\KIX32.EXE %KIXSCRIPT%"
appears unreachable since you 'GOTO LOGON' directly above.

7. Recommend you change the LOGON to call KIX32 from the client versus network to improve performance. Why spend all the effort to maintain accurate files on the client if you are not expecting to use them except when server unavailable?
