I have done this by making a timer class, and instantiating it in the main program.
You know only have to record activity.
I don't know if there are good alternatives to do that, but you can have a method in the timer class, that resets the timer to zero after activity is seen.
You then have to call the method everywhere you place code.

If you call a messagebox in your app, the timer control doesn't fire.
In VFP7 you can workaround this by using a timeout on the messageboxes.
