If you go to punch in and when you click on your name and nothing happens, just wait a few minutes...
You may see (Not Responding) message like below and the "Wait Cursor" also seen below which displays as the program tries numerous times to open the database.
If the database cannot be contacted you will see TimeClockWindow go into Hibernate mode with a message as seen below.
This means as it tells you the database connection was lost. Most likely the computer with the database has been turned off, gone into Hibernation or a network problem. You should immediately contact a supervisor to reestablish the database connection and then click the Reconnect Now button to punch in our out.
