I have a foxpro program (lets say progA) being used by 20 people accessing a table call person_tbl in Assign.dbc. What I want to do is create a seperate timer program (because my user will exit progA periodically) that will update the person_tbl. First, is it possible to create a seperate timer program (lets say a project ProgB) that can update the shared table in ProgA? Second, how can I keep the timer from terminating once I exit the ProgB program? What I mean is once the timer is started on the server, will it keep running even if I turn my machine off(the machine that executed the progB)?
and Finally if the timer does continue, how do I turn it off, do I just restart the progB again and have a button turn the timer off?

Help appreciate
