Tracking System Idle Time

I want to track the system Idle time the moment any user locks the system by hitting CTRL+ALT+DEL . The moment the user locks the system, a small window within the system should display the timer starting the IDLE Time until the User Unlocks and Logs in and this idle time should be captured in the Access Database.

If the code could be written in Access that would help us.

please help me with this.

Thanks,
Amit

I'm afraid this isn't regular Access coding.
This will require some "heavy" coding in VisualBasic, as you'll need to be able to intercept the Windows operating system actions.
Perhaps better to ask in the VB forum.
