Why on earth would ANYONE want to bypass what is essentially a security consideration. If the sign-on with a valid usercode AND password is bypassed, what are you opening yourself up for? So a person has to take time out to remember to sign-on, a total of 20 to 40 seconds at most. Compare this to the time it would take to rectify a vicious hackers work, after he/she had finished playing with YOUR system. Then answering YOUR boss why you thought saving 20 to 40 seconds, 4 times a day was a good idea. >>> "Mark A.

Might I ask you this, why ODBC, can you FTP the file; which when done "properly" can bypass the the userID and password issue for a "batch" process. HTH Mark A.

We have a time and attendance job that uploads punches to our AS/400 (V4R4) four times a day. We have to enter the password each time the job runs. It seems that there should be an option to enter this once and then let the job run on auto-pilot, but we haven't found it. Maybe there's a patch? Any help is appreciated.
