Time out

[Guest]

Can someone tell me, or at least point me in the right directin, for some code that will close Access if the computer is idle for a certain amount of time, say 15 minutes or more. I have some customers that will leave Access open while they go to lunch or leave for the evening, which "breaks" the database. Because they're still in it I can't access it to repair it and it really messes up my day. Thanks.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=128814 shows one approach. (Don't worry
that it only states Access 2.0, Access 95 and Access 97: the same approach
will work with Access 2000, Access 2002 and Access 2003)
