Delay Login Prompt

[terri]

I have a 2000RT app running as a Citrix published application on multiple
servers. The mdw file is in a shared folder that gets specifically mapped in
each server's startup script. On occasion, the app looks for the mdw file
before the server has finished executing the startup batch (so the security
drive is not yet mapped), triggering an error: "Cannot find file ... mdw is
required for startup ..." It can take several attempts at "beat the clock"
before the login prompt is sucessfully displayed.

Any code inside the launching mdb fires after the login prompt and I don't
see any options under Startup that apply to security. I am at a loss as to
how I can code in a delay before prompting for login.

Any insight is much appreciated!

I've not run into this, but use the UNC pathname rather than relying on the mapped drive. i.e.

\\servername\path\filename.mdw
