>I have an pallication that folks use to load data into table and then print reports and also create some data feeds for another system. Most folks walk away from their PC and leave the thing up. I then have to run around and figure out who is in it if I want to use a table exclusively or recompile the EXE with the changes aI have made. Is there a way to figure out how long someone has been in there wth no activity and QUIT out of the program?
You can bypass the problem, in part, by compiling with a different filename every time. Your first compilation becomes MyApp0001.exe, the second version MyApp0002.exe, etc.
If you are interested, I will send you a small loader program, that detects, and loads, the latest version of the executable (this is really simple, actually). Give the users a shortcut to the loader program only.
