I am having trouble with this network app. When I get ready to modify the data base I send a flag to a table that tells anyone that is logged on that the app will shut down in 1 minute. This same flag is detected when someone tries to log on. A message box pops up saying app is down. The trouble is that while I am in the developement env. someone tries to log on and gets the message box and never clicks ok. I finish and get out of the dev env. Now I can't get back in because someone has it locked. Any suggestions?
