Thanks Kev, I'm afriad I'm not to sh*t hot so may need some guidance if you have the time?

This is another good idea, and do-able, but I am on a corporate WAN with over 35000 users. There is no way I can extract there NT ID and net send it accuratly. I suppose I could, however most of the dumbasses here would end up shutting the machine down rather than the DB. If I could just...

Problem is with that, there will be a substantial number of users using the database at any one time. I give them the option to login, but I don't have anyway of keeping track of who is logged on at any one time. If I could even make a pop up box appear on all users screen at once it would be...

I have had a look at that particular thread. Unfortunatly this specifically looks at timing out a users session. I'm looking to be able to pick a user that is logged on, and forceably kick them out. I have had a good search but still no ideas. Any other suggestions?

No ideas? :confused:

Is there anyway, I can clear all users out of a database? For example, I have made some changes on my test DB, and now I want to implement the changes in the live system. However some users are on the DB. Can I force them of with some kind of pop up message telling them whats going on...

Sounds good enough for me!! Cheers for the help! ;)

Hi! When I run a report, I have a basic quesry asking for the search criteria. But I would rather have the report run off a form with a drop down menu with all relevant search criteria. But how can I do this? Make any sense? :confused: Thanks Steve

No joy?

LOL, cheers mate. Much appreciated. :D

Yeah, I managed to set that up, however, it exports the name of the feild and the messgage. For Example. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |________________FIELD NAME________________________| |...

No longer works a treat I'm afraid. Because Access uses the file, and the app uses the file, there is somesort of sharing violation. When I log on to the database it checks the txt file and kicks everyone else out of the application. Any ideas?

Works a treat mate! Thanks for the help!

Right, I have set up the table with the same paramaters as the .txt file. All the forms are working fine, and are updating the tables. Now, how do I link that table to a .txt file on the network? So that when the table is updated, the .txt file is dynnamically updated also?

I have no idea what you mean, however, this is the file I want to update.

Aye mair than likely! ;) I'm fae Forres, a small town near Inverness.

YAY! Usually I'm the only one in other forums! The others better not hope we start typing with an accent!

Instant Messenger. It pops up when there are any major IT issues. What file type would be easier for Access to process?

Another question for you. I run an IM app, which uses a .txt file to display messages. I want to make an access front end so that it is a little easier to update. I have tried to import the .txt file as a table, but it decides to have 40+ fields. Any ideas how I could achieve this? Is it...

Are there many jocks in here? :confused: :p
