Timed Inputbox

[FBxiii]

Is it possible to put a Timer on an Inputbox?

I have a DB that imports a series of files from a folder and the user is
required to Input a Received date for each file.

Sometimes the user leaves the App running overnight if a large amount of
files have been received.

Is there anyway of closing the Inputbox after a certain period of time
without the user having to input a date? (The App would Print a report
afterwards so the user can manually enter the received dates)

If the Inputbox function does not do it, will I need to create a 'Custom'
inputbox on a form?

Cheers,
Steve.

While it's likely possible to use APIs to close an input box, you'd be far
better off creating your own inputbox form.

I had a feeling that would be the case.

Thanks anyway,
Steve.
