>relatively new at FPW 2.6 and have spent considerable time trying to get this routine to give me a countdown. The Best is will do for me is--as soon as the file is placed in the area it WILL within the time specified log all users off but I do not get a timer posted with a delay timer posted for how long they have left on. Help!
>> Sorry, Carl. I didn't understand exactly what routine you mean, but, if the question is how to logoff users in multi-user FPW system, my answer is following:
1. Use TIMEOUT clause in all READs or in Foundation READ only (it depends on system design).
2. All READs VALID procedure should evaluate some variable/flag thas has to be reset by system administrator. So, after some period of time all users will be log off.
Once again, excuse me for possible misunderstanding.
