Another idea: On the machine that hosts the database files, use Computer Management to close the open database files that errant users have left open. It won't actually shut down DP on their computer, but when they come back and try to use it they'll get an error message and have to exit. They can then re-run DP and be back to normal.

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.

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.
