Hi Guys

I have a split FE and BE applicaiton and want to automatically close the FE
is the user has not done anything for 10 minutes. This will ensure that if
they go away and leave there desk for an extended perikod of time or leave
their office without closing the applicatikon then the application will do ut
for them.

Is there an easy way to do this?

Thanks
Regards
Greg

I must admit that this stuff has always scared me, because of this bug:
Losing data when you close a form

Essentially, if someone is part-way through entering a record, gets
distracted before saving (e.g. a phone call), you time them out and close
the database, they silently lose their entry.
