Hello Peter,

Well, the idea is to get real-life experiences. Based on that one can
"schedule" mandatory re-boots before the trouble starts. Also, it is
possible to advise customer up-front that "for a system. like this...." it
is expected that you may have to re-boot a PC every (....).

It looks funny, but most people do not understand why would one need to
re-boot at all.

Most PCs run as office applications, and are re-booted at least once a day.
It's hard to find many people who have them running 24/7, so I am hopping to
"tap" into their experience.


Sincerely,

Damir

I'm fascinated.

Let's assume you could get a categorical answer.
What good would that information do you?

(On average I can drive through 20 red lights before getting hit by
another car - should I drive through the next one?)

Regards

Peter Russell

Hi,

I have an Excel application which is supposed to run 24/7. Windows Nt &
2000.

Would anyone be willing to share their experience of how long can a PC
run
without re-boot?

I know that this depends on may things, but in average we'll get a
pretty
good answer.

In my experience the trouble (freezing, weird behavior) usually starts
after
8-10 days.

Any similar experiences?

P.S.
This may not be exactly a direct VBA question, but more like "what can
we
expect of it", so I feel it's ok for this newsgroup.


Sincerely,

Damir
