Vlad, will this work if the user left the app at a messagebox (or other modal form) or with a menu open? I thought there were situations where timers didn't fire on schedule.


>You can create a dummy file on the server and have your app check for the existance of this file using a timer. If the file exists, the app will close itself. Or you can use a dummy table and change the value of one field, etc.

>>I have an executable that runs in the middle of the night when

I also take this opportunity to pack and reindex my tables since I have exclusive use of all tables. This is where I am having some trouble. Everything works okay while running this exe as long as all of my users are logged out of the app, but if a user forgets to log out, my exe obviously will bomb since I need exclusive use to pack & reindex.
