Stp Hibernation/Sleep

[Trev B]

Hi Thanks in advance.

I have problem that a laptop keep going to sleep (Or Hibernation) approx
every 20 mins.

I have no access to security so can't change the settings.

Need someway to keep laptop awake.

Lap top is looking at inbox of outlook for new email using access vba code
(Problem is outlook freezes when it is in sleep mode so stops processing)

At present we have to remember to press, alternative, the shift and ctrl
keys manual to keep it a wake (Pain in the a**)

Have tried to use kendkeys but does not work.

Please please help asap. Any idea would be good. A simple fix would be
fantastic

Thanks

Contact your IT Dept. and ask them to change the sleep settings.

Get a cat and sprinkle some catnip on the laptop.
