What about instituting a mandatory fine for anyone who fails to exit the database at the end of the day. Shouldn't take more than once or twice for them to get the point. :)
Another option would be to install an additional utility on each workstation that uses the database. At a specific time each day it would force a DP exit. AutoIt is free and is mighty handy for writing little helper utilities like that. https://www.autoitscript.com/site/autoit/ Tim Rude On 6/19/2018 10:49 AM, Ed Marfil, MAST UNITED wrote: Hello Peter, Thank you for the reply. Interesting that you use it for transport management. I use it for the same; inventory and shipping management. Anyway, I was hoping I could disconnect the user solely from the DP application or database but not from the server. Currently I have to remote log-in to the suspect station and properly log it out. Unfortunately sometimes there are multiple suspects. Regards, Ed. PS: please know that I feel bad that NL is not in this cup. Just doesn’t seem right without them and Italy.

Hi Ed, It happens to me quit often with approx 40 users working every day in our transport management application. We work on a window server with terminal servers I work as follow: - Remove all *.tmp files (3 per user) - Some of them remain because of incorrect log-out - I get the names of those users from the files attributes - Next step is to log out those users from the server - Final step to remove the remaining *.tmp files Success Peter Van: Dataperf [mailto:[email protected]] Namens Ed Marfil, MAST UNITED Verzonden: maandag 18 juni 2018 02:54 Aan: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Onderwerp: [Dataperf] Forced log-out? I back up my DP database regularly at off hours when it is supposed to be inactive. However, there are times when it fails because a user forgot to log-out of the database. I was wondering if there is a way to forcibly eject users from the database.
