Hi Michael, thanks for asking... I actually have a customer using an app that keeps track of flags in the system when they are logged in. Some users are leaving the app up and running in T.S. and then leave for the evening instead of logging off. They set T.S. to forcibly close down the app and the T.S. session after 2 hours of inactivity on T.S. This is leaving the software with the flags of usage still set internally yada yada...
Since my first email.... I've been experimenting with a timer on the particular form, that will shut the app down and I am resetting the timer in the following events of the form: 1) MouseDown() 2) KeyPress() 3) Moved() I think this is actually what will allow me to do what I want to do now.
