I have a routine I run on any workstation that repeatedly tries to connect with multi off. I run it, and proceed with the first 3 below. If I still cant connect I use netware monitor to determe who still has the database open. I then have the option of going to their workstation to disconnect them, or to break their network connection, assuming they have no disk activity going on. When I can finally connect the database, no one else can get back in until I am done. If I want to reload, I quickly disconnect and rename the database so noone can connect Then I connect to it again and reload back to the original name.

Call each person on the Phone and have them exit... 3. go around to all work stations and have them exit R:Base (and hope that noone logs back in before you get back to the server) 4. Reset the server, RScope the blown database, Reload/Autochk, Put Server back online, Accept Severance Check... you can run "rbadmin" to see who is still connected and then follow the steps above B-) Ben Johansen - www.pcforge.com list commands: www.pcforge.com/WiTangoTalk.htm -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, October 01, 2001 3:22 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Disconnecting Users...Help How does one disconnect users so that a RELOAD or AUTOCHECK can be done from a server or workstation???
