Hi Daniel,

The PROBLEM with this is that we have 16 users using the same account at the same time. Most programs work fine in this setup, but not OpenOffice:

1. Student 1 goes to a thin client and starts OpenOffice - no problem.
2. Student 2 goes to another thin client and starts OpenOffice.
3. Instead of student 2 seeing an OOo window, the window appears in student 1's account.
The second OOo instance finds the already running process and just notifies it, to open another window or document.

I need to find a way to have OpenOffice appear on the terminal where it was called. Does anyone have any ideas?
You need to differentiate the processes by the user data, e.g.

 soffice -env:UserInstallation=<mypath>/user1

OOo than goes and creates a new user profile in the passed directory.

These kind of parameters are called "bootstrap" parameters and may be passed via environment variables or *rc files as well. Please have a look at

  http://udk.openoffice.org/common/man/concept/micro_deployment.html

for details. And, if you are on it, you may want to move this page into the UNO wiki :-)

Cheers,
Daniel.
Hope that helps

Kay
