Is there a way to display a proprietary notice at the initial access of DOORS? Do you have any examples of displaying a message?

A particularly aggrivating "feature" is the lack of a DB wide login Trigger. If you can find all the clients you can theoretically update their DOORS installs in "startup.dxl" to display a notice.

We've implemented a post-module-open trigger that knows when this is the first module opened by the user today (in a ConfigFile), and then does some work if it is. The Config files have the user's name and today's date in it. The trigger looks for the existence of the file, if it exists it stops if it doesn't it gathers information. The module load time is increased negligibly.

You could have your script check for the file, and if it doesn't exist then it deletes all the old files of that user's name, create the file for today, then display whatever you want.

Well, one way that needs to have to command line switch in the DOORS startup icon or a registry value set in place. Look for Consifuring DOORS / Summary of command line switches - there is -cli switch for doing something before (or actually during) the splash screen or a -dxl switch for doing something after DOORS startup.

Yes, but command line switches (your idea) and modifications to clients (my idea) require some sort of cooperation by the user or can be easily bypassed by a user; whereas the trigger idea cannot.
