Default Workaround for com exe timer?? help

Hi fellow helpers,
I created this little ditty so that I wouldn't have to write the far more
complex
ActiveX exe (and because I have never written an ActiveX exe). The problem
is I get an error with the following code on the starttime = now line.

Dim c As Integer, starttimer As Integer

c = 0
starttimer = Now() (I have also tried this: starttimer = Format(Now,
"h:mm:ss"))

Do While c = 0
If Range("A2") < "" Then c = 1
If c = 1 Then Exit Do
If Now starttimer + TimeValue("0, 30, 0") Then GoTo KICKIT
Loop

I think what is happening is that starttimer may be continually updating to
reflect "NOW", but I don't want it to do this. Is there a way to capture
current time without it updating?

Thanks,
Nicole
