A97 - Detect Idle Time

The link below:

http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;128814

to the Microsoft KB "Detect Idle Time" article shows how to detect "idle"
time. However, if a user is active but doesn't move between controls on a
form (eg, filters on the same control), this is seen as inactivity.

Has anyone successfully modified the code to detect filter/find events on
the same control? Any pointers greatly appreciated.

Keith.

Funnily enough Tom, I was just working on them. Is it possible to trap the
"Find" event too?

Regards,
Keith.
