Disabling the login prompt

This is actually covered in the manual (under the Maintenance / Park Setup / Operators), but since we still get asked this occasionally we'll repeat it here.

If you're the only person that will ever use the program, you may want to set it up to automatically log in with your operator name when the program starts. You will have to decide whether it's worth the risk (e.g. if anyone else has access to the computer, they would have complete access to the database), but this option is provided for convenience.

To set up automatic login, you will need to add two parameters to the "command line" of a shortcut icon to the program. To do this, right-click on the Campground Master icon on your desktop (or wherever you start the program from), then click on the Shortcut tab. The Target edit box should contain the full path of the CampgroundMaster.exe file, which is the command line. Go to the end of the line and add the following text, replacing [login] and [password] with your appropriate login and password:

/Operator=[login] /Password=[password]

Note the capitalization of Operator and Password, the direction of the slashes, and make sure there is a space before each slash, including the first one. For example, to log in with the default administrator and password, add this to the command line:

/Operator=Administrator /Password=Password

Also note that the program file and path should have quotes around them (which may already be there) -- so typically a complete target line would be:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Campground Master\CampgroundMaster.exe" /Operator=Administrator /Password=Password
