That does make more sense. Thanks, sorry for the confusion.

Another question though, is this a feature of SMS 2003? We won't be able to
upgrade to that for at least a few months. Until then we just have SMS 2.0.
And I'm looking in the Advertisement Properties, and under the Schedule tab
in the Mandatory Assignments section, and my only options are to assign it
at a particular date and time, or "Immediately after this event". And in
that drop down menu, my only choices are "As soon as possible", at logon, or
at logoff Is "At Startup" a feature of 2003 that 2.0 doesn't have?

Thanks a lot for your help!
Aaron
