Hi Candice,

first of all you need to have a little knowledge on API programming part.. there are some API can be used to capture the idle state of you keyboard or mouse action.. you need to intialize a timer control to capture the idle event.. set a preset time or delay to automatically logout after a predefined time.. good luck my fren.. :)

depending on your application, you could skip the whole api part. mouse movement on a form is fairly simple. But if you dont have a form or if you want to see how long the mouse has moved on the screen (and not on the form) then really, ignore everything from here down.
'<public declarations>
dim lastmoved as long
form_mousemove( Button As Integer, Shift As Integer, X As Single, Y As Single)
lastmoved = timer
end sub
timer1_timer() 'set interval to 1000 milleseconds.
if timer-lastmoved>120 then 'seconds, this is two minutes
call autologout
end if
end sub

ok, i may not have helped you with the auto log out, or much with the mouse move, but you have 2 lines of timer code!
(im looking into the auto logout bit.)
