Hi, Guys, Please help.

I've built the Access database which 40 staff are working together in a same network. when it comes to updating the source file, I have to call them and ask them to close the Front end ever single time and when ever I have to inform them about the new notification, I have to call them every single time. So i want a anyone to help me set up the popup message and notification to all the active users.

Thankyou in advance.

    Hi. There could be another approach to this, but the one I've seen and used involves a Timer event to check either a table for some data or a file to exist in a specific folder. Either condition, if met, initiates the shutdown or log off routine. You can add feature to warn the user first and give them enough time to save their work and log out normally.
