Can anyone suggest a practical idea that I can use to "shut-down" users that
might still be connected to a database or logged off improperly so I can
compact the back-end?
Thanks for your assistance

Have you ever had problems with the following scenario?
User clicks a custom Find button, enters the criteria, then clicks again to
find the record. Record is displayed, focus goes to the first field in
default tab order. User processes the data, then finds another record in the
same way. At this point, the cursor is still on the same field of the same
form, even though the user >has done< something. The code in question may
think that he has been inactive.
I've thought of using that code myself, but been worrired by the scenario
described above.

to 2 hours of inactivity. If the user does not do anything, then they are
kicked out ms-access.
I also write out to a table what user was kicked out, and thus users who
are NOT logging out at the end of the day can be notified.
You can find the code at:

I had very good luck using the code.
If the user processes some data, then no doubt the cursor and the form used
changes. At any rate, for the user to process some data, the cursor and form
used likely does have to change.
In fact, if I recall, I actually changed the timer event to every 5 seconds
when it checks (I did NOT want to waste any cpu). I have heard of any of my
users complain. Further, when the code does kick them out, I write an entry
to a table logging this fact. Thus, if users were getting kicked out a lot,
then I would know about it.
With a 2 hours setting, you see a few kick outs by people who take long
lunches, and the rest are usually 2 hours after closing time.

Ok, thanks. Dropping the timer interval (while keeping the "kick-out"
interval) seems like a good way to go.

Anyone here feel that "global variables" is misleading for variables
whose scope is file scope? "global" seems to imply global visibility,
while this isn't true for variables whose scope is file scope. If you
have a variable whose scope is file scope in another translation unit,
you have to provide a local declaration to access that variable from
the other translation unit.
Also, I don't see "global variable" used once in the standard....

Hey guys, I'm new here, just a simple question.
I'm learning to Program in C, and I was recommended a book called,
"Mastering C Pointers", just asking if any of you have read it,
and if it's worth the $25USD.
I'm just looking for a book on Pointers, because from what I've
read it's one of the toughest topics to understand.
thanks in advanced.

I think you would agree with me that a C compiler that directly
produces Java Byte Code to be run on any JVM is something that is
missing to software programmers so far. With such a tool one could
stay with C and still be able to produce Java byte code for

could be re-compiled and ported to the JVM.
We have been developing such a tool over the last 2 years and currently...
