I recently discovered that access user based security does not have logOff
capabilities. The only way to log someone off is by quiting the application.
Personally, I feel this is a huge error on MS's part for not including.
Now on to my problem. I need to have a user timed out of my app after 5min
of no activity. What I want to happen when the time out occures is for the
form and state of the form to be preserved while another form opens up with a
logon screen, retaining the last user's ID, prompting the user to enter their
password and, upon entering their password, take them back to the form they
were working on. If a new user logs on instead of the previous user then they
would be taken to the normal startup screen.
My understanding is that access has no way to logOut the current user. Does
any one have a solution for this other than using the network logon or the
windows logon? (these wont work in the enviroment I'm in as I don't have
control over the auto logout time)
I look forward to your input and appreciate it very much.
