DETECT INACTIVITY

[Guest]

I currently have a persistant connection through a hidden form. It has a
timer event going that checks a specific table field value. I use this to
force users out when I need exclusive access.
What I want to add is the ability to detect the user has taken no action for
a specific time period and close the app if they have not.
I have an idea, but it involves a function call in every control on every
form. I would appreciate any ideas on a method that will require less coding
and impact on performance.

Thanks, Douglas, that will do it.
I think I can incorporate it into my existing hidden form, if not, I'll make
a new one.
