Bypass the Open Database dialog box

Top  Previous  Next

 

To avoid the Open Entry Database dialog box each time you start Alpha Journal Pro you can create a shortcut to your journal database and specify your journal database filename and password on the command line.  When you select the shortcut it will start Alpha Journal Pro and open the selected journal database.

 

The format of the command line is as follows:

 

AJOURNAL.EXE [journaldatabasefile] [masterpassword]

 

tip Tips:

 

All command line parameters are optional.
If you do not use a master password specify NONE in its place.

 

For more information on creating shortcuts see the Windows documentation.

 

note Note:

 

By creating a shortcut to your journal database and specifying your master password you are making your entries available to anyone who has access to your computer.  This is a potential security risk that you should be aware of.
