I tried the following code...

STRTOFILE('Mike', 'C:\Temp.txt')
x=CreateObject("word.application")
x.Documents.Open('c:\Temp.txt')
x.Documents.Save()
x.Quit

And it still goes idle. I checked and when this code runs it does change the date time on my file so i know it's accessing it. Any more thoughts?

Thanks!

>>I have a terminal server in which the idle session timeout is set to 2 hours. I want it this way with one exception. I have one terminal that runs an automated process every 5 minutes. I do not want this to run on the console. It is a Fox Pro form with a timer and every 5 minutes it connects to a remote server and retrieves some information from another Sql Server. Currently a user has to move the mouse every so often to keep it from timing out. Is there a Fox Pro command, or some way within a FoxPro form to keep a terminal services session from going idle? I have tried the KEYBOARD command, and have also used ...
