It can already do that. Go to Tools - Settings - Display and you should see the option to Minimize To either the System Tray or Task Bar.
From what I can tell, minimizing to the system tray or task bar is just that - only on a minimize. What I would have liked is if they closed the NotePager main form, that it would minimize rather than close.

With PageGate CLIENT properly configured, you can accomplish the same thing you are looking for AND defeat the issue you're having with NPP being terminated while jobs are in process
I'd have to look at the PageGate client. The users have something like 150+ paging groups that frequently change. I don't want them being able to edit all the groups that currently exist on the PageGate server for things that are not theirs. Their groups are only applicable to them and to noone else in the company.

We are using PageGate to send the pages. The reason for the Notepager to Pagegate interface (SMTP to the Pagegate server) is due to the number of paging groups that the users maintain themselves.

This particular situation requires they use Notepager to initiate the pages.

Ok, sounds like a good feature request for a future version.

Is there a way maybe to minimize the application to the system tray when they try to close the program? Similar to say, ZoneAlarm, which never closes unless you right-click the system tray icon and explicitly choose the close option.

The problem we're having is because they're closing the app while in the middle of the paging, the rest of the messages never make it out. Then hours later the person re-launches Notepager and the old pages go out. Then we have people calling asking why there were sent so late.

Is there any way to warn the user when they try closing Notepager Pro and are still in the middle of sending out pages? Some of our users keep forgetting to leave it running until all of the pages are sent out.

Otherwise when they go back in and send a new page, all of the pending ones go out as well.

Ok, I think I got around it by running it on a Windows XP PC and copying the directory where the wrapper EXE extracted the temp files for installing. After running that setup.exe, I was able to install it.

Though why doesn't the wrapper EXE work under Windows 2003?

I'm trying to test out NotePager pro on our test terminal server (Windows 2003 standard). Running the install does nothing - it doesn't bring up the box to kick off the install. Any thoughts?

Background:

We have Notepager running on several local PCs, which has linked tables to a NPP.mdb on a network share. The users manipulate their own paging groups (which are extensive) which pages to our Pagegate server (which is why they're using NPP to begin with). I'm trying to add NotePager pro to a terminal server so those same users who use the terminal server can also page.
