I don't believe that the logoff script will run until after all the applications have closed so its not really much help.

I checked, an normal logoff script only runs after open applications have closed. I would write a small vb.net program (you can get Visual Studio Express for free) that runs when the user logs in, and then sits in the system tray. It can then catch the logoff event, and check to see which apps are open and either use "send keys" to save the documents, or just pop a message box saying to close them before shutting down.

Some explame code to catch logoffs here:-

but you would need to code specifically for the apps in question to add the code even to test. To save documents would be harder as it would need specific knowledge of each program.

G4ugm - Thanks for the suggestions. I will get around to trying some of those later in the week.
