We have an application living on a network that will have
multiple users, but can only have one at a time.

To enforce this, we are opening the database with the
Exclusive option. This seems to work OK.

Our problem is, if a user turns of their PC without closing
the application, as users sometimes do, then the database
cannot be accessed again until they come back and sign off
properly. Of course, this can be cleared by a network
administrator, but we would like to be able to detect and
override this in the VB code.

Any ideas???

TIA.
