I am happy to stand corrected! I checked the help before replying to Jim and found nothing to give me a clue either way so I was in the dark, too.

The time runs on regardless of form activity. You have to reset the timer in code. If the form is complex you have a lot of eeps to create. Also, I would not do it on every keystroke as that would be a lot of overhead. Click eeps and control entry eeps would be sufficient, I would think. The exception would be a field the user just stays continually and types changes every so often. You have to look at what your goals are for the form.

I would have thought any keystroke would reset the timer to zero. It should be fairly easy to test, though <g>! Regards, Alastair. From: Jim Belisle Sent: Friday, August 17, 2012 12:44 PM To: RBASE-L Mailing List Subject: [RBASE-L] - Form Timer I have a form that I want to close if it has been left open for a specific amount of time. I realize I can turn on the timer, set the time and use the WINDOWCLOSE to do this. Here is the question: Do key strokes while in this form restart the timer if all I am using is: CLOSEWINDOW RETURN As the code in the form EEP?
