I have been asked about what would be the best way to externally shut down running FP apps. That is, an application ( probably VB ) that would inform users on a network who are currently running a FP app to shut down the app, and if they do not in a specified amount of time, then the VB app would forcefully shut down all running instances of the application on the network. How could this be done most gracefully, closing tables, cleaning up, etc. to keep from corrupting the open FP tables. The existing FP apps cannot ( or will not :-) ) be modified.
Thanks,
Bill
