Hello Friends

Is there any way I can get Access DB to auto close in case there is no activity for a certain peiod of time?

I am maintaining a database in MS Access and have multiple ACCDE files distributed to users for running queries that they need. I update backend database once (sometimes twice a week). If a user has local ACCDE file open I cannot update the backend DB because teh ACCDE have tables linked to the back end DB.

I noticed that most of the times users after running the query leave the session running and forget or sometimes leave it open intentionally for future use. I was wondering if I could program ACCDE files to auto close after certain period of time of inactivity. Or is there another way of dealing with this issue.

Thanks for your time
