Yes. Using the standard Windows ‘Scheduled Tasks’ utility found in Start > Programs > Accessories > System Tools, it is possible to schedule a Re-index of your FrontLine database automatically. • Select the ‘Scheduled Tasks’ utility and double click on ‘Add Scheduled Task’. • The Scheduled Task wizard screen will ask you to specify a program you want to run. Select the Browse button and navigate to C:\Program Files\Shire Software and specify ‘FLMReindex.EXE’. • Select how often you wish the task to run (we recommend weekly) and click ‘Next’. Select the day of week and time ensuring the re-index schedule will take place at a time when all users will be logged out of the system. • Finally opt to open the ‘Advanced Properties’ dialog when you have added FrontLine Re-index utility to the list of scheduled tasks. In the ‘Start In’ box, enter the path to your data directory e.g. F:\Shire\Data\V2DATA.
