[AccessD] How to shut down Access

>> shut itself down at a specified time

Assuming the database is not otherwise occupied? Or do you trust a Windows Scheduler and a programmer's forethought to know whether it is cool to kill a database which has been running manually or via automagic?

I would lean towards your tables route if you want the application to be self-aware and only quit when *it* thinks it is ok to quit, John.

If it's a fully automated application, with a scheduler built in, it should be trivial to add the 
ability to shut itself down at a specified time.   It's also not that difficult to create a "one-off" 
scheduled task at the same time to restart the application x minutes later.
