how to check if computer is locked

[live2ride]

i have start time and end time for tracking how much time was spent working on specific record. when a user clicks start time, time is being recorded even though the user have gone to lunch or somewhere else. i would like to check computer state to see if the computer is locked so the timer can be stopped or started if computer is unlocked. thanks

You want to check if Windows has timed out and acivated the password accessibility for the user's computer?

What events could be triggered in Access when Windows times out and when the user returns and logs back in?

Why the need to restart time? User has the record locked regardless of whether or not they are still sitting in front of the computer.

all records are user specific so we dont have any issues of records being locked. users are using access as well as other programs, so i need to check the state of the computer itself to see if computer is locked, and if computer is locked i want to pause the timer as user is obviously not working during that time.

unfortunately that site shows how to detect if user was idle in access, i need to find out a way if user is idle on computer and not in access as the users might be working on other stuff and not touching access for a while
