close entry mask after READ command automatically
|

| hi all,
we are collecting warehouse data in a network using dbase 5.
the screeen displays a data entry mask with SAY and GET commands followed by a READ command. sometime people leave the open entry mask on their screens when going home at night, which disturbs database operations that take place during the night. how can
i close such a data entry windows automatically, i need something like a READ command with a maximim patience time :)
any idea?

| I don`t know anything about dbase 5, but it seems to have a timer object ( http://64.132.211.166/Knowledgebase/v5_docs/TIMER.txt )
In one of my forms (dbase plus) I check the date every 60 seconds, and when it changes ( = midnight) the form closes. You can do everything with the timer class, close it after 5 minutes or at a special time or whatever :)

Might want to check and make sure that's the DOS version, versus the
Windows version. dBASE 5.0 for Windows was very different from dBASE 5.0
for DOS. I don't recall there being a timer in the DOS product, although
I could be wrong.
