Not sure why you're doing it but one way you could implment this is through document events. On document open go to a location for authentication (Windows, XML, or DB), return the results, if user is ok then you're done otherwise inform user and close down document. thanks chump i am trying to find an entry point to get the reference to the newly created document everytime you start the arcMAp application. since i am not creating any custom extension or commands - i cannot use their oncreate .. etc events if i create a custom arcmap Class from Visual Studio what method or what should i use to get the reference or is there any other way thanks
