I am having a problem. I think here I can get solution of my problem.

I want to know "Whether it is possible to get when last action was done on running form?"

Actually what I want:
I have a form. I want if user does not perform any action on the form means click/move the mouse, press any button for next 5 minutes (like screen saver) then the form should exit.

Is it possible and how?

I would be greateful.

Using a timer, perhaps?

Though, why would you want to bother?

i tried the timer first but it is not feasible because it does not recognise last action. it works from the time of enabling.

You do NOT need to quote the last thread. We can read.

Oracle Forms is a block mode application system. It does not know that a user is, or is not, doing anything until the user causes a Forms trigger to fire. That means that if the user takes 5 minutes to enter the data into a particular item then the timer would fire and the form would be closed. You need to refresh the timer in EVERY trigger you code and also have a 'key-others' trigger at the form level to refresh the timer when a trigger you have not coded is invoked.

PS You also have to call the invoked trigger manually in this 'key-others' trigger. Best of luck.
