   Re: Terminal Services issue

   I'm with Tom.  My users cannot comprehend that they need to close what's   
   inside the "Remote Desktop Connection" window *before* they close the   
   RDC window (in my case, closing what's in the window will close the RDC   
   window too).   
      
   You can make it so that when a user reconnects to a terminal server,   
   they reconnect to the same session.  You can also make it (as we have)   
   so an app launches automatically and the user doesn't have access to   
   anything other than the app and closing the app closes the session.  (if   
   you wish).   
      
   IMO, your users are closing the session and leaving Paradox running on   
   the server.   
      
   The really bad part, from my experience, is that timers seem to stop   
   running when the user does this (so my timers to close the forms   
   automatically after n minutes of inactivity only work when the session   
   is open; once the user closes the session, the timer seems to stop).   
      
   FWIW,
