Automatically log users off

[malfiscious]

I'm looking for a way to log users off either instantly or when they have been inactive for 10 minutes, any help would be much appreciated.

I've found a couple of online examples but after going through the various steps (closely I think) I end up with errors. I expect there are posts here but I can't find them.

I want to be able to run backups and work on the backend even when Jo Bloggs decides to go for a tea break.

Were currently still on Access 2003.

Thanks for any help.

Have you tried this approach

Hi malfiscious, I am not sure if you have looked into the Microsoft's solution to "Detect Idle Time".. It is quiet straight forward and easy to incorporate..

Hi, thanks for your reply.

I think that might do it but I'm not sure where to add the final set of code in the frmClock form?

Thanks pr2-eugin, I'll look into that too

Thank you for your answers.

I've tried them both and they work great.

In the end I went with Alansidman's suggestion because it means I can quickly boot people out and do what I need to when I'm pressed for time.

Thanks again, very helpful.
