I mention this only in passing, and because I have found it to be very amusing.
I made a table called kick, with one record. A number field, defaulted to 0.
On the main form of the db, I reset the value to zero.
The main forms on timer event, set to repeat every 10 seconds checks to see if the value in Kick totals to anything but zero, and if it does, employes a wonderful vba command. Quit.
I would use it mostly so I could have exclusive access to update vba code, or change a report, but eventuly found it amusing to see other people wonder what happened.
Sorry, could not help it.
