App running in background

I have a project I am writing for a client. The app. is 90% done. It is a time clock, so he can track employee hours...etc. I wrote it to use a .mdb...All is fine and dandy, my question is:
Should I set it up to always be in the background, (minimized in the taskbar) or in your opinion, should the app close after eack entry, and the record be updated? It dosen't use a lot of memory, but I was just looking for an opinion.

Thanks

If it doesn't need to be running then the obvious question would be why leave it running? The user has to click something to activate it, so why not a lnk file to start the app instead of an icon to activate the app?

I'm with HeSaidJoe on this one. If it doesn't need to be running, then it shouldn't be running. Better to leave it not running just for safety sake.

With that suite of armor and sword I'm glad you're on my side.

:D

I do what I can

Thanks Guys,
I was just wondering, if if would at some time become (a pain) to start up the app. every time someone wanted to clock in, out. But you have reassured me the way I set it up was appropriate.
