Am I missing a point here !

When you choose to use KiXtart as the login processor it dosn't lack anything in speed, but,
if you choose to also use it for other programming issues, it might not be the fastest, but it is stil reliable.

I have two objectives when using KiXtart:
  • Make the logon script as short as possible - in time
  • Use KiXtart to process logonscript information - compile the info (Ofline)
If KiX is slow for some (non login) operations, why use it for this ?
  • Ease of writing/reading (understanding), no $i++ ^$i Set or other mysterious operations [Wink]
  • Easy converting from ofline to online scripts
To summarize the two lists, i wouldn't dream om using COM on Excel/Access to gather information via the lonon script.
This might raise a discussion (It was meant to)

ps.
Shawn,
I will try to cleanup my Excel-UDF for unused functions and publish it in the UDF-forum
