Is there a way that to enter code in a database to allow me to kick people out of the database so that I can do work on it when I need to? Currently the database is split and is located on a network connection. I am currently using Access 2007. Any
help is greatly appreciated.

Are you asking whether you can do something to disconnect the users? The answer's no: it has to come from their end, not yours.
Perhaps you didn't understand what I was saying. To have it only happen when you want (nothing to do with inactivity), you'd replace the given code for the form's Timer event with code that reads your Message table. If there's nothing in the Message table, the routine does nothing. If there is, you'd pop up a message to the user and log them off.
And realistically, you don't want to use a message box to notify them, because the message box will just stay open until they do something. You want to pop up a dialog form that's got a timer event in it to automatically close after a certain length of time.
