Hi
Please, can you help me? 
I need you help and advise for this situation.
I need to set for 60 secondes and shown an alert asking a user if he want to stay connected to Internet.
If no action is done by the user, the connection is close.
The issue is that an Alert item stop the timer until the alert is close. This issue is well known.
I will need to create a window and canvas to simulate a alert to override this problem.
Your help will be appreciate to help me resolve this situation. I would like to known from you how to cover all the triggers to use and manage the alert form properly.
Maybe this type of form or module exist in the Oracle world as an object type but all my seachs failed.
Thank you to help me on this problem.

Thank you DjMartin.
We are using Forms 6i. So the application server cannot be use for this. However, the user accces an Oracle 10gLite database and he is connected to internet.
From what I saw in Metalink forum and here, it seem that a need to create this dummy alert form manually.
Calling this block (stacked canvas), the when_timer_expired will work but I need to manage all the triggers needed for this correctly.
I was a developer and designer programmer but now a project leader with junior Oracle programmers and unfortunately no time to work on this.
This type of situation is probably common in any Oracle business.
I'm curious to see if it exist an object or someone who build it and will like to share is experience or better, his module.
Any suggestions will be appreciate.

I suppose you could try a 'two' timer effort. When the first timer expires, it sets a variable indicating that "do a disconnect", it then starts a new timer, and then shows the alert. When the alert 'stop disconnect' button is pressed you 'null' the "do a disconnect" variable so that when the second timer fires and tests the "do a disconnect" variable if it is empty it does nothing but if it is still uncleared it does a logoff.
