Boot/kick/kill User from multi user database 1

[nycdata]

Is there a way to boot a user from a multi user access database??

I need to be able to kick user or all users...but the administrator..

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hi,

Have you tried 'phoning him/her? Makes sense compared with booting him/her in mid-transaction.

It is also more courteous to your customers (users being your customers after all).

If you have admin rights (network), then you could VNC in there and close the app. gracefully. If you don't have network admin rights, then you don't really have a right to boot a user from an app. the way that you want to.

Create a form and set the OnTimer event to, say, 5 minutes. In the OnTimer event open a table to read a field from the record. If the value is true, issue an Application.Quit command, else do nothing.

You might also want the ontimer event to first read a field, that if true, displays a message to the user telling them to exit out of the app because it's going down in x minutes.

You are right....i don't really think im or the admins are going to use it..but incase a wrong person is on the database and if we find out, we would need to force him out...

its all just security purposes..

any help guys??
