Hi moatman, firstly thanks for responding.

I am aware of the maplogout command, but the issue is when opening up the program. (thried it anayway but no window)

The users folder is still there, I even tried creating a completely new user to see if it was just a strange cad quirk but to no avail!

We have a bespoke database to suit our fabrication specification but the location of the users folder is essentially in the same location as you have shown.

All ha been working fine for months and months. It seems to have just 'happened' over night??

Typically as i am away on site

I don't suppose you have any other ideas??

Thanks again
