Hi,

We can simply check by using Java bean.
Steps:
-->In one Block Create a java bean by cliking "bean area' in
forms Layout Editor.
-->Create When-Custom-Item-Event trigger of Bean item

DECLARE
	eventName varchar2(30) := :system.custom_item_event;
      BEGIN
	If(eventName='MAX_INACTIVITY_EXCEEDED') THEN 
	  Message('Maximum user inactivity exceeded!');
          Bell;
        End If;
      END;

-->In another block Create Start Timer Button. In
When-Button-pressed trigger Use Start_timer like below

set_custom_property('<blk_name>.<bean_item>',  
                            1,'START_TIMER','');

Here 1 means that 1 minute idle time.
--> If you want to stop timer

set_custom_property('<blk_name>.<bean_item>', 
                            1,'END_TIMER','');

If you want more will be helpful.You can download timeout.zip file

Consider putting the code into an object library, then inherit the code into each form.

Let's go back to the beginning. What is the problem that you are trying to solve? This is what I see: your organisation has five applications, with about 120 forms in each application, it is written in Forms 6i (I don't know whether it is running in client/Server mode or in 3-tier mode through a browser), and the 'bosses' want something to happen when the user hasn't done anything for a specified period of time (like 15 minutes). Now, is that 15 minutes since they have done anything in the application or 15 minutes since they have done ANYTHING on the whole PC (eg play solitaire).

WE RUNNING CLIENT/SERVER

WE NEED ..
15 minutes since they have done anything in the application ??

BUT IF THERE IS ANY SOLVE FOR ALL THE PC IT'S OK ALSO
CAUSE WE ARE USING (98 & XP ) WITH A GROUP POLICY AND WE FORBIDDEN TO USE ANY WINDOWS APPLICATIONS ..

SO BOTH OF THEM IF AVAILABLE ARE WELCOMED ...

THANKS FOR FOLLOW UP

I see that your Caps Lock is stuck on again.

Have you considered writing your own screen-saver code and letting Windows do the timing for you?

If you search this forum for 'kill process' you will see http://www.orafaq.com/forum/m/121717/67467/?srch=kill+process#msg_121717

What if the user was half-way through doing their data-entry? Is it acceptable that the process will be killed? Prehaps you should look at trying to time out the process in the database.

Search this site for 'inactive process', or google it.

thanks alot Mr djmartin for UR patient

now the road is start to be simple ..

I got the way to kill process and kill it from task manager ..
and I think this is a good way

killtask /IM tasgmgr.exe

but the Big And Last Task Is How To make the Screen Saver
Start This Program Instead Of Starting Screen Saver ..????

I wish you will try to come up with me to solve the last Step
..

wishes the best Time...

I think that you can write them in VB. You can certainly write them in C.

I googled 'write your own screensaver' and received plenty of hits. The first one http://computer.howstuffworks.com/screensaver4.htm pointed me to a page of software products including http://www.screen-saver-builder.com/ , the second google link was http://www.screensaverstudio.com/ and the third was http://www.freedownloadscenter.com/Search/make_your_own_screensaver.html

Have fun!!

If you want to just do 'timing' in the Forms application, and not the whole Windows environment, then there may be another method. I think someone tried creating a 15 minute timer evertime they entered or left an item. They would create a new timer that would remove any existing timer of the same name and then create a new one of 15 minutes. If that timer was ever reached then if would do an 'exit_form'. But I think there are problems of what to do if the Form is either in Enter-Query mode or a record has been updated but not saved.

You might like to write a test form and see how it functions.
