Emmitt, On timeout. It inserts a row in a LOGInOut table with the user name and MAC; then exits. I do not issue a disconnect. maybe I should.
I have noticed an increase in application hangs on networks where the server is running MS Server 2008. That is another issue that I need to address. Sometimes they appear in the Event log and sometimes not. It is hard to get accurate data from the users to trouble shoot the hang issue. It doesn't seem to have any pattern or it does not hang in any particular section of the application.

Do you: DISCONNECT EXIT We experience the problem of phantom connections seen by R:BASE if users lose their LAN connection or some other problem forces an untimely exit. The only way to clear all of these is to connect as a single user. Emmitt Dove Manager, Converting Applications Development Evergreen Packaging, Inc.

In the startup file I have the following command [SET TIMEOUT 60]. I am finding that sometimes the connections do not time out as expected. When I issue (CVAL('CONNECTIONS')) it shows multiple connections active hours after the users go home. When I check the PC workstations it does not show the RBASE application active on any of the PCs. The only way that I have found to clear the orphan connections is to reboot the server. However, I have noticed that sometimes, the orphan connections clear as users start to logon the next morning. I would appreciate any comments or suggestions on this issue. John
