[AccessD] shutting down

When you think about it, this is not really the kind of thing that a single
API could handle. 

The goal is to detect inactivity on the part of the user. The example
provided by M$ does just that by checking if the active form has not changed
in the defined time and that the active control on whatever form has not
changed either. There's not much else you can do. If a user is interacting
with a database then one or other of those objects is going to be changing
frequently. So a timer event kicking off every few seconds or so fits the
bill quite well.

Yeah, I've seen that one too. I was hoping for something a little more 
succinct -- like an API or something, but I haven't found anything.

Thanks!
