>>>Do a loop with the timer contained in it. The timer will expire and the loop will cycle. At this point the system should check resources. Another trick is to check system time against the value when you started. This way you can timeout after (ie) 15 minutes of inactivity.

also to forms because w/ modal forms, timer event at screen level does nothing until screen gets control...
