I have a form that has many subforms that an be displayed. If no data is
entered on the subform in a specificed amount of time (timeout) I want to
close the subform (from inside the sub form) and redisplay a default screen
(login screen).

The timer event is working properly, but I cant get the subform to close.

I would appreciate any help that anyone could offer.

Thanks in advance

I'm looking for exactly the same thing. I have A timer counting down on the
form from 30 seconds and a macro made to close the form but I can't get that
link that runs the macro when the timer reaches zero.

Any luck so far??
 
I found it. Create a new blank form with a timer of whatever you need. On
open of your main form get this form to open aswell in hidden mode. On timer,
get it to close itself and the other form you require. On the other form, add
a macro to each of the fields that closes and reopens the blank form in
hidden mode so the timer gets reset. I'm not good at code so this is the best
answer I know of.
