Thanks for trying That'll Do IT - Database Solutions ShowUserRoster for MS Access
MDB, MDE and MDA files.
 
This utility allows you: 
 - to see who is in your database.
 - Lock out new logins.
 - Send a message to all users in the database to please log out.

This Add-in is designed to be used in the back end of a split database.

Included in the zip file is a sample database that shows you how 
to get the messaging to work. 

To make everything work:

1) The table AdminMessage should be in the back end database where you 
will be using the Add-in. All Front Ends should be linked to it.

2) The Front End should have the two forms frmAdminMsg, frmInactiveShutDown
and a startup form. Your Startup form can be anything you want. Just be sure 
to copy the Form_Load code from the sample into your startup form's Form_Open 
or Form_Load event so the log out form will load as hidden right away.

Warning! Don't change anything about frmAdminMsg, frmInactiveShutDown
or the AdminMessage table. If you do, you won't be able to use the 
messaging and inactive shutdown. 


**********Installation**********
To ensure that the add-in works properly, 
unzip ShowUserRoster_ver32.zip to your C: drive. This will place ShowUsers in the folder,
C:\Program Files\ThatllDoIT. If you don't unzip directly to your C: drive, the registry 
key will be wrong and the Add-in will not load. If you must put the folder in another 
location, I can send you a customized version.

If you have installed a previous version of ShowUserRoster.mda, you will have to delete it 
from Microsoft's default Add-in folder for Access. Depending in your operating system,
there are a variety of places that might be. With Windows XP, it's 
C:\Documents and Settings\<your profile name>\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns.

Note to Vista users: You will probably have to set this folder as Trusted.
I have not tried this Add-in on a Vista operating system so there might be some problems
with it. I would appreciate it if you pass these issues on to me so I can adjust either the 
installation or the Add-in itself in future versions.

Open any database in Access and click on Tools/Add-ins/Add-in Manager. 
Click on Add New. Browse to the folder and file at 
C:\Program Files\ThatllDoIT\ShowUserRoster.mda
Click OK. This will copy the MDA file to Microsoft's default
Add-in folder for Access. Depending in your operating system,
there are a variety of places that might be. With Windows XP, it's 
C:\Documents and Settings\<your profile name>\Application Data\Microsoft\AddIns. 
You have to do this only once.
