Ditch your code.

I didn't add code to close the form, you will need to add that.

The code assumes that the form is called Userform1.

Add this code to a standard code module

Public nTime As Long

Public Sub UpdateLabel()

UserForm1.Label3.Caption = Format(nTime, "0 secs")
nTime = nTime - 1
If nTime = 0 Then
Application.OnTime Now() + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1), "UpdateLabel"
Else
UserForm1.Label3.Caption = "Time up"
End If
End Sub


then in your form, activate it with

Private Sub UsrForm_Activate()
nTime = 30
Call UpdateLabel
End Sub

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:30"),
Label3.Caption.(30sec)

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:20"), Label3.Caption =
"20sec"

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:10"), Label3.Caption =
"10sec"

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"), Label3.Caption =
"05sec"

Application.OnTime Now + TimeValue("00:00:05"), "KillTheForm"
