>Hi. We have some VFP6.0 apps that users don't close when they leave for the day. I used the timer class to create an object that would check to see if it's between a certain time--say after midnight, and if so close the app. This is probably very stupid, but when I call Clear All within the timer event, I get an error that the timer object is in use, and therefore can't be cleared. I've been researching this for a while and cannot find an obvious solution, although I'm sure the answer is simple. Thanks...
While this may not solve your immediate problem, I would suggest an alternative option - your Timer can check for the existence of a specific file, like "maintenance.tmp". This will allow you to kick out the users at unscheduled times.
This can be either in addition to, or instead of, checking for a time interval.
