Wayne,

I have to agree with Allen that most users won't even look at the display. Most usually will just log in and then wander off to get coffee or something. The most important thing is that you need to know if a problem happens. You can do this by writing error messages to a log file. Keep a running status variable that tells you if an error has occurred. If so, write the log file to a server share somewhere. You can have an admin script sitting somewhere watching that share and alert you to any problems. But that is starting to get into advanced scripting. \:\)

Regards,

Brad
