AutoShutDown (1 Viewer)

I use a timer based event that shuts down the frontends after some idle time.
i have two questions.

1. how to disable the timer as it causes some weird bahaviours while editing the code? is shuting down the hidden form enough?

2. is there a way to add regular maintenance intervals, ie every wednesday at 20.00.? how?

Yes, shutting down the hidden form should be enough.

Probably, but more common is probably having the code check a value in the back end. When you want to do maintenance, change that value. Change back when done.

using value in a table... I just got locked out of the db (I'm working with imported tables). the version with file on a server (as described on MS support site) is probably safer, at least in my setting.
