Force Users to See About Document

Hi All,

Any tips on this would be appreciated. We are moving a number of databases to a new server and have written scripts etc. to update the About document on the ‘old’ server. The idea being that if a user opens a database on the old server then they see the notice and can click a button to open the database on the new server.

With the launch option set to Always Show About Document this works fine UNLESS the user has bookmarked a view or document in the database, if they have they click on their good old bookmark and arrive in the ‘old’ database by-passing the about document?

Any ideas on how to stop this or force any access to open the about document??

Thanks in advance

Neil

place a statement in the postopen event of the database itself that calls the about document

this should force it under any condition

Thanks for this will see if we can get this through our processes! Changing the About Document is not counted as a design change and so we dont need to raise any sort of change control… but adding script might incur all sorts of red tape!

Thanks!
