Hi,

I have an mdb database that updates itself once a day. When users are still
logged in, the update fails. Is there anyway to disconnect all users?

Thanks a lot !

You wouldn't want to do that since there is a risk you could cut someone off
during an edit which will probably corrupt your data.

Best bet would be to schedule the update at a time when you know no-one will
be connected.

Thanks for the reply...

I am scheduling the update at a time where no user should logged in. I
really need to be able to disconnect the users left.

Any idea how?

Thanks a lot!
 
OK. Some users are not logging out of the system when they go home?

You can implement an inactivity shutdown control that detects a period
(which you can set) of inactivity. For example, if a user has not typed or
clicked on anything for the time period you set, say 30 mins, the app will
shutdown. This is intended for an FE/BE configuration where each user has a
copy of the FE on their machine.
