You might also want to go this route: How to detect User Idle Time or Inactivity in Access 2000 http://support.microsoft.com/kb/210297 or a combination of the two methods. But whatever you do, the app should close itself rather then being killed from the outside, or you risk database corruption (unless of course it's a SQL server backend, then kill away).

The backup kicks off in the middle of the night and they need a way to terminate the access application. I do not have anything built in to my stuff to do this. Does anyone know a way to directly get a pointer to any open access instances and force them to close? -- John W.
