Quattro Pro 12

Using startup switches

You can start Quattro Pro using a startup switch. Some of these switches are for your convenience, but others may be necessary to run Quattro Pro on your particular system. You can also set permanent startup switches for Quattro Pro from both the Start menu and a desktop icon.
The following startup switches are available:



Switch	Function
/d	Developer mode
        This is for use by end users (for example, type qpw.exe /d).
        For information about working in Developer mode, see "Working in Developer mode."

/s	No password box
        This command lets you open a password-protected file without using the password dialog box
        (for example, type qpw.exe /spassword c:\myfiles\filename.qpw).

/b	User splash screen
        This lets you use your own bitmapped image as the splash screen
        (for example, type qpw.exe /b[path to bitmap]).

/n	No splash screen
        This starts Quattro Pro without displaying the splash screen
        (for example, type qpw.exe /n).

/r1	Repair damaged files
        This repairs a file by removing all of the objects.
        Typically, corrupted objects are the cause of a damaged file
        (for example, type qpw.exe /r1[path of damaged file]).
        After a damaged file has been opened using the /r1 switch, Quattro Pro returns to normal mode to allow you to save objects in the file again.
        Note that if you open Quattro Pro with the /r1 switch but without the path of a damaged file Quattro Pro will remain in repair mode until you exit the application.

/r2	Repair damaged files
        This repairs a file by removing all of the objects and formulas.
        This should be used if /r1 does not work
        (for example, type qpw.exe /r2[path of damaged file]).
        After a damaged file has been opened using the /r2 switch, Quattro Pro returns to normal mode to allow you to save objects and formulas in the file again.
        Note that if you open Quattro Pro with the /r2 switch but without the path of a damaged file Quattro Pro will remain in repair mode until you exit the application.

/wrr	Workgroups repair review
        If a system failure occurs while you are reviewing a shared notebook, the file still indicates that a review is taking place.
        As a result, no other user can save their changes or start a review.
        To prevent the file from being permanently locked up, the startup switch /wrr frees the file from the Review mode.
        /wrr must be followed by the filename
        (for example, type qpw.exe /wrr[path of shared notebook]).

/wru	Workgroups repair user info
        If a system failure occurs while editing a shared notebook, the file still indicates that the notebook is being used.
        As a result, a review cannot be started (as long as any other user is editing the notebook).
        To prevent the file from being permanently locked up, the startup switch /wru resets the User to non-editing mode.
        /wru must be followed by the filename and the user name
        (for example, type qpw.exe /wru[path of shared notebook] [user name]).
