>> I'm trying to set a timer to exit my app after so many minutes of non-activity. Someone suggested using the screen object but I'm not sure how to do this. _Screen.ActiveForm is a property not an object so it has no events. I need to check for any activity to reset the timer.

Hm... how about form's KeyPress and form's MouseDown - should be sufficient to catch every important activity. It wouldn't catch pressing just alt/shift/ctrl, but would catch everything else. Using the form's MouseMove too may be usefull, or prove to be just an overkill.
