The system has a counter for this purpose, although I'm not sure which DLL retains it. The idle time is used to discover whether or not screen savers should be turned on, and/or power management invoked, if enabled. The information is there somewhere. The trick is to find it and make use of it. ego Edward G. Orton, GWN Consultants Inc.
