I am using VB6.
I have an application that a someone is running and I want to close the
app
if he/she has stepped away for more than 15 minutes. If someone starts
working in the app before the 15 minutes are up, I want the timer to
start
back at 0 again.

Any suggestions would be appreciated
TimL



Hey TimL,

You can set a global variable to the current time every time the user hits
a
key or moves the mouse.
Then, in a timer, check the DateDiff between the global time and the
current
time.

HTH,
