yes, that deals with the global access to the timer, but he
still has the issue of resetting the time when any "activity"
occurs in any of his forms.

at this stage, you would really be fortunate if you had derived your
forms from a base class that you had in turn derived from the standard
form class, but it doesn't sound like you did. (i hardly ever do either).
i know that's not much help.

is there any way to attach events to the _SCREEN object ? sort of a
retrofit ?
