how to manage screen saver

[eb]

Inside an access application I need to activate a screensaver each time
there is no mouvement of mouse or use of keyboard during a laps of time and
this anywhere in the application (any forms, reports,...)

using the 'sendmessage' api I can activate the screensaver : the problem is
whow to know when this api must be call regarding the conditions above.

Maybe the resolution of this problem would be to set some keys in the
BaseRegister at the activation of the application ??

Sorry for my english, I speak french (belgium)

thanks

Are you saying you have requirements over and above what's been defined for
the system? In other words, you only want this faster invokation of the
screensave when your application is active, whether or not it's open?

Not sure but try the Microsoft Knowledge Base article:

OTOH, why not set the Windows ScreenSaver correctly and don't bother with it
in your Access application as per Douglas' post.
