How do I get a form to close automatically after it's idle?

I need my form to close automatically and lock itself up after a certain
amount of time has passed and the mouse doesn't move just like how the
computer shows a screen saver after so many seconds of being idle. This way,
no one else can go on the form if I needed to leave all of a sudden.

Similar principle as the demo

Your can use a timer event which get reset whenever the user moves about a
form. If they don't move around, after a determined time period you use the
docmd.close to close the form (The example close the entire db).
