Help Running on Server in Systray

Hi all,

I'd like to run CD on our server (Win2K fwiw) so that it runs reports automatically throughout the day and overnight. However, for security and other reasons (e.g., other work performed on the server), I can't keep the user under which CD executes logged in.

I have CD setup with the "C:Program FilesCrystal DeliveryCrystalDelivery.exe" -A -T
in the startup folder, so it launches properly. The issue is that it shuts down when that user is logged off. I realize this might require that it be a service, but I was wondering if there were another solution?

Perhaps is there a way for a user to be logged on to the server, but not actually on the console itself (e.g, switch to another user or just to the logon screen, while leaving the CD user logged on)?

Thanks for any suggestions!
