RE: [MS_AccessPros] Timer

John,

Well I guess that is bad news and good news. I was hoping for some type of
"Clock" function. The good news is that it can still be done. Your
question at the end of your email made me laugh. Absolutely I will need
help writing that code! Anything you can send my way would be great.

Thanks,

Bill Singer

Bill-

If you just want a digital countdown, you can build your own with a Text
Box and the Timer event. Enter the total time you want to start at in the
text box, then click a Start button. Code behind the Start button would
then set the form's TimerInterval property to 1000 (1000 milliseconds = 1
second) to start the clock. In your On Timer event procedure, subtract 1
second from the clock value. You could also provide a Pause button (set
TimerInterval to 0 to stop it from firing) and a Stop button (set
TimerInterval to 0 and set the Text Box to 0). Need some help writing the
code?

The other alternative is to search for a clock or countdown ActiveX
control on the web.

I am wondering if access has a clock function or something that would work
like a game clock in a football game. I want to set the time, click the
start button and then have the clock start counting down.

Thanks,

Bill
