Note I have not tested this with a Top-Level Form, but try the following code in the KeyPress of the form:

LPARAMETERS nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl
THISFORM.Timer1.Enabled = .f.
DODEFAULT(nKeyCode, nShiftAltCtrl)
THISFORM.Timer1.Enabled = .t.
NODEFAULT

Leave the timer interval at 5000, and set the KeyPreview property of the form to .T. You may or may not need the DODEFAULT/NODEFAULT lines of code.
