That was the conclusion I came to also. &nbsp;Thanks for your help.

Andy, there is a shortcut for what your trying to do (I think), which is to use ActiveForm and Active Control:<br />

Agree with Jim.<br />
<br />
When I have a need to check for application idle, I usually put the code in the timer event of a startup form, which gets hidden shortly after startup. &nbsp;This timer event checks for ActiveForm, and ActiveControl, and if the Active control is a subform, it checks drills down until the ActiveControl refers to a control. &nbsp;If either the ActiveForm.Name or the ActiveControl.Name retrieved from this process is not equal to the value stored in the timer event, it resets the idle time counter and the strActiveForm and strActiveControl variable values.<br />
<br />
This avoids having to put code in every form and control.<br />

I have an Access application and want to run a function called IdleLogoutSet(), if the keyboard or mouse is pressed in any of the forms.  Is there an easy way to do this?

Detecting keyboard or mouse-click across entire application

Microsoft Access is a rapid application development (RAD) relational database tool. Access can be used for both desktop and web-based applications, and uses VBA (Visual Basic for Applications) as its coding language.

Microsoft Access

Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) enables building user-defined functions (UDFs), automating processes and accessing Windows API and other low-level functionality through dynamic-link libraries (DLLs). VBA is closely related to Visual Basic and uses the Visual Basic Runtime Library, but it can normally only run code within a host application rather than as a standalone program. It can, however, be used to control one application from another via OLE Automation. VBA is built into most Microsoft Office applications.
