I'd like to have a counter, a timer, that runs (counts the time) as
long as outlook is the current active window (ie the window on top,
and the user is reading/writing emails, sorting folders, anything) and
stops when the person switches to another window.. I'd be grateful for
pointing me to the right direction?

Thanks,
Morris
 
I'd assume that's possible with subclassing from within Outlook. Probably
WM_ACTIVATEAPP is the message you should look for. If you want to get that
message from a different process then a hook (not possible with VB but C++
e.g.) would be necessary.
