In GP10.00, has anyone done a customisation when switching between company database without going through the company login page. I have an interesting project stakeholder that require seamless process in switching between company database when already logged in.
User interface required:
Similar to the Company shown in the GP status bar, a dop-down list which allow the user to select other companies the user has access to (without showing the company login dialog box).

I have seen a few different concepts for automating company switching. As you cannot bypass the company login window (it needs code on that window to handle the switching of the company and all in internal pointers etc), the best you can do is automate it.
You can use Macro's, Dexterity, VBA, and even VSTools to "drive" the user interface.... ie. mimic the user's actions.
Using VBA has the advantage that you can hide the window so the user does not see it flash open and then close.
You can also, just use the Company Switch window and speed it up... for example: using VBA to "press" OK as soon as the drop down list changes. It removes a mouse click, but also gives no chance to correct a wrong selection.
Hope this helps

Now if you can only display that menu as a dropdown list in the status bar...
This might not be the best solution but it's free and easy. We currently have @ 113 companies. We created a macro for each company to switch between them. Initial setup is time consuming but the end result has saved so much time.
After creating each macro, we added it to the home (sidebar) in GP. This isn't the most technically solution but it works for us.
Dencio,
This is a dex job. PM me if you are interested.
