 timer question

I need to put a timer on my application which if there is no action within
45 seconds the user is logged out of the system.  I know how to set the
timer to 45 second, but I'm lost in how to logged the user out.  Any ideas?

Judy,

How did they log in to begin with?

Whatever it is that let's them into the application, undo it!

HTH,

I think he means log the user out of windows. You can do this using the
ExitWindows API

Declare Function ExitWindowsEx& Lib "user32" _
(ByVal uFlags As Long, ByVal dwReserved As Long)

Public Const EWX_FORCE = 4
Public Const EWX_LOGOFF = 0
Public Const EWX_REBOOT = 2
Public Const EWX_SHUTDOWN = 1

Private Sub Timer1_Timer()

Call ExitWindowsEx(EWX_LOGOFF, 0)
Unload Me

End Sub

Alex,

I'm not so sure that's what Judy meant ...

I don't know how long /your/ machine takes to get going, but I,
for one, would be d*** annoyed if an application logged me
out after just 45 seconds of not using it.

Regards,
    Phill  W.

Phil,

That's what I thought at first, then I thought that it could be some simple
logging out program which logs you out after a certain even has occured. It
could ask you if you wished to log out immeadiately or cancel the process.
If after 45 seconds the user hasn't responded it logs out automatically...
just a possiblilty.
Anyway maybe this is one of those 'annoying' programs.
