>>Hi,

>>I have a routine that allows closing a VFP 9 application remotely. Basically, when a flag file is present on the server, the timer code (in the VFP 9 application) closes all forms and then closes the application. It works except when a user's PC is locked. At least this is what I found out yesterday with one user.

>>So, my questions, is it possible to have a code in the VFP 9 application that will close the forms and the app even when the PC is locked?

>>TIA
