Default how do i make a visual basic function calculate every cycle?

=gTime(Now())

The "Now()" parameter will cause a recalculation every time the sheet is
recalculated (but not on every "screen update").

It's not too clear what you mean by "every cycle" - cycle of what ?

I am constructing a Public Function that will be activated within a cell
("=gTime()"). I want the cell to be re-Calculated on every screen update.
The function will return a value which is the specially computed elapsed
time.

Are you using a function or a subroutine? The reason I'm asking is a
function can't write to the worksheet (only read). If you are using a
subroutine simply have the macro write to a cell in the worksheet. make
sure
events arre enabled.

using
only clock input, that is NOT DEPENDENT upon cell data. Normal
functions
calculate only when inputs change; There are no inputs; so it
calculates once
and never again.
