Brenda,

You could loop until 60 seconds has passed. It's a good idea to put a wait in the loop to keep VFP from using too much CPU resources:

m.lnTimeOut=SECONDS()+60
DO WHILE m.lnTimeOut>SECONDS()
  WAIT '' TIMEOUT 1
ENDDO

>System administrator wants to kick the users off the system. Selects the appropriate menu item. Now I want to give him a message like "Please wait ... Forcing Users off the System" and make it stay up for 60 seconds. Tried "WAIT" with " Timeout 60", but it goes away if the keyboard or mouse is used.
