VB program inactivity 1

I have a program written in VB6 to show in a grid/report weekly schedules of laborers. Users (2-3) often leave the program running on their desktop unattended and someone can make unauthorize changes. Under XP, I can invoke the screen saver and after n minutes of inactivity, it can resume with password protect. I also asked the users to exit the program. They don't want to. Is there a way to monitor if the VB application has been idle, let's say 10 minutes, and password protect it before the program can continue?

Thanks,
Angel
