Put a timer on your base form class which will time out and close each form after a certain time.

Following, I have a second timer as part of the menu which checks to see if there are any forms open. After XXmin the menu initiates a shutdown routine which is part of the main.prg 'DoNotInUse in main.prg'. The not in use simple clears the read events and close out the program with a simple 'quit'.
