Just a general question

Is there a way that can be set up for a user to be logged out of sesame automatically after a period of inactivity ?

many thanks

I thnk that The quick answer is YES, it is possible.

Latest version (1.1) has Application programming available now which can allow you to immediately launch some routines that could be running in the background.

You could create a routine to check the date/time of the .db file to periodically compare the current info against a known value.  If no change in a defined period, then could execute a routine to close Sesame.

You could use On Field Exit SubRoutine / On Immediate Change to write the current date/time to a GlobalValue and compare against that.

You could just look at the current time and close all open copies of Sesame if time is after 7PM for example.

These are theoretical.  There are a number ways to do this, depends on if you want to do it totally within Sesame or want to make batch files or other third party utilities.

Thanks Bob - certainly some food for thought there.

I would be looking to do this within sesame (less external programs to worry our IT dept with)

thanks
