Access: "global" timer

[ssallen]

Hello everyone,

I want to set up a global timer of sorts... I mean, I don't want it just
attached
to a form. I would like it to trigger no matter where you are in the
database. What is the best approach for this? Should I write the code in a
module or macro? How can I trigger a database wide timer on opening?

Thanks!

Actually, the recommend approach is to use a form with a timer event....

You can launch that form and then make it hidden...

In fact, I used the following solution for years to kick users out of my
applications if they not done anything after 2 hors of time:


Kick users out after inactivity:

the above simply uses a timer form that is hidden.....

Not only is this a great solution to your problem, but you really don't have
much else of a choice anyway....
