: : Mark, : : I'm auto-updating FM 4 (password protected) 2 separate server passes :-). The windows scheduling program
: : I use sends a key to handle the PW protection. While FM is updating each xxx.mm.4 (portfolio page) is
: : in full view, defeating the whole purpose of PW protection. Any chance of a new commandline switch

: : portfolio one would be fine. : : Ian : Hi Ian,
: This is sort of a strange situation... You

: Mark, If I'm using a PW and starting minimized, updating, then shutting down (all minimized)... command line switches /I/Q, wouldn't
I run into the "shutting down from minimized" bug?
I don't think my second pass would start FM successfully?? BTW I found out the hard way re this problem. I actually ended up uninstalling / reinstalling
to get FM to run after shutting down minimized. Because of this I'm not too keen to experiment
with the minimized deal. Now that I understand whats happening I feel a lot better though. I realize that I'm probably one of very few running this program automatically, however Its sure a
time saver after a couple of weeks away. No more manually updating each day at a time. Cheers,
Ian
