    How to run a DLL automatically at startup, or the equivalent...

    Hi All,

    I would like to build a DLL (Active Object) and deploy it to all the users on our system.  I would like the DLL to run for all users automatically, so there is no need to run it manually from the tools menu (because it will monitor changes to constituent records).

     Any ideas?

     

    Thanks in Advance --

     I don't believe that this is possible unless you have RE:VBA. If you do have the VBA module then you can put your commands to run in the start up REApplication object.

     Of course I may not have understood you properly. If it is a question of simply deploying it on all machines then put your dll in a visual studio setup project so that you create an msi file and deploy it using group policy. What this dll does of course will depend on whether you have the API module or not as you cannot start it without the API module.
