>Sorry for the confusion. Ideally, I would like to start the fox 2.6 app from my app. No problem. My goal is to be able to detect idle time in the 2.6 app and if that idle time exceeds n minutes then popup the vfp app until they re-renter the user name & password, similar to a screen saver but only for a particular application. As long as the user is acutally doing something in the 2.6 app, the vfp app keeps resetting the timer.

I believe that if you set up your FP app to function from a foundtation read you can set up a timeout in the read statement that can do what you need. There are examples in the manual on setting up an application to run from a foundation read.
