escaping idle users back to menu

[scooter6 at gmail.com]

  ahhh I had forgotten about idleout - yea a little more brutal than I'd
like, but I agree, perhaps it will teach them (doubtful but I can
  try) either way, I'll accomplish what I want to.

  Has anyone used idleout on a system running filePro?  If they're in the
middle of updating a record and idleout boots them off
  the system, will it cause any file structure damage to the filepro
database?
  Just want to make sure before I start playing with this.

  I also found nidleout and autolog...anyone have any preferences?

  thanks

  Scott
