Handle Bad Manner Users

[kennykee]

I got a database Access 2000 format. The database is used over network
connected to few pcs.

Users always forget to close [form] after use. Consequences, next user on
the network unable to enter data and got error message.

Any Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

If you split your database, then all users can all work at the same time. No
additional software is needed to do this. In addtion, no change to your
existing code should be required.

you can read about splitting here:

I had an application like that, low traffic and a few users. Did not split;
however, I started a timer upon opening, and placed an elapsed time display
on the screen. I had the application shut off after a determined number of
minutes, enough for the user to get his data entered. Some users even liked
it, they did not have to bother exiting when done. No issues since.
