Automatically Quit (1 Viewer)

[MaleNurse325]

A little background.
I work on an oil rig in the north sea. Our power supply is pretty hit and miss and sometimes if the power surges and or goes off completely (usually in the middle of the night) it can corrupt forms, macros and code. I am obsessive about backing up my databases.

My question: Is there a way that I can set my database to quit after a certain period, say one hour or in there has been no activity for an hour?

As usual your help would be greatly appreciated

Hi. Yes, you can set up a hidden form with a timer to perform certain tasks when the time is up. There are some demos available. Let me know if you can't find any, and I'll try to post a link after I find an example.
