Hi Capin' Fan, 

I'm not sure why some replies look like direct replies while others go to the bottom of the discussion but, I was replying to CBS3601. Regardless, maybe we can talk about your issue. No need to type in all caps if that's cool, I'm just an other user sharing my experience. What kind of overnight batch operation are you completing? What leads you to believe the intuit login is stopping action from continuing? The reason I ask is because we do overnight reporting amongst other tasks, and the first problem we encountered was Windows User Account Control settings needed to be turned off. UAC being on should be the only hurdle a program would have to clear aside from making sure the PC is fully on (not sleep or hibernate). The Intuit login is by-passable by human means and by that logic, by coded means. However, you shouldn't have to bypass it for typical batch actions as it is only a request, not a security function for the data. I look forward to understanding more if that doesn't help.
