Ok here's my situation for anyone to mull over:

I have a system with Windows XP running MSDE 2000 with sp3a applied.

This system is set to automatically login with system startup for the purpose of automating the data collection process of this machine.

I have an application that also starts up upon login that relies on MSDE running.

My problem:

Whenever the machine boots up and logins into Windows with its automated process, the system seems to take its time starting up the sql service before the application I have set to run at startup. This causes a disconnect between the application trying to run before the sql service is completely started. I can resolve this by creating a batch file to execute a ping of the local machine twice and then run the application but that still doesn’t explain why this is happening nor does it provide a better and more permanent solution to the problem.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for your time.

Try to set a dependancy in services for msde. Tell it to only start up if that service for that other application is started. You can also put a delay in there. Most of these things will need to be done through the registry or through sc command.
