>>Has anyone coded an inactivity timeout in their VFP app? I have a couple of ideas, but they have holes in them. I'm thinking of setting a variable to datetime() and using a timer (about once a minute) to check if the allowable time has passed. The problem, of course, is how to reset the variable that holds datetime() whenever user activity happens. I can use the forms' mousemove and keypress (with keypreview) events to update the variable. But it would probably also mean having to code into the mousemove and keypress events of every base control.

Thanks they look like something I should have thought of myself but didn't. Seems useable.
