In a few strategically placed triggers that indicate user activity (enter-query, post-database-commit, etc) set a global to the current time. When the timer expires, see if the value in the global is more than an hour ago. If so, exit the form, show a message, etc [there is a way to close all open forms, involving another global on the when-window-activated trigger]
