yes understand thats how classic works but not sure why the processes arent ending. We do a lot of reporting from infoview which is a web based delivery of crystal reports. The infoview server uses an ODBC connection to the firebird database. Is it possible that if the user just hits X to quit their browser without properly logging off infoview, the connection to the firebird database will remain connected??
