Default NETWORK USERS

I have a database that resides on the network. Around 12:15p each day all users are suppose to be off. Some forget to exit and you have to go around and find out who they are.

Is there a simple way to automate throwing all users off the database?

Thanks in advance

See whether the KickEmOff sample Arvin Meyer has at

I've loaded the form, table and module into my database.

It works if I click on the form let's say for me but on a network the other users are still on. This is something I'm missing?

The form and code (front-end) has to be on each machine. The table on the
network drive where the rest of the data (tables) is, with a link to each
front-end. The form checks the table periodically for the value to kickem.
If it finds it, off they go. I usually open the form hidden, from either the
autoexec macro or a startup form.
