I have some code at http://xldynamic.com/source/xld.XtraTime.html that you
could adapt.

Hi everyone,

I've spent a VERY long time sleuthing the web trying to find a count down
timer system (preferably that prints in the status bar of the workbook,
which
i already have a working counting timer i made that does this using the
OnTime method), that allows the user to continue
changing/copying/pasting/etc. whilst it counts down to zero from a
predefined
value. Although my own code uses it, you can not use the OnTime method for
this since the timer stops counting down while a user types something into
a
cell for example and takes more than a second to do so:

I have found a link of someone that has cracked this problem, using an
add-in:
http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/so...countdown.html

can this be accomplished without an addin? is it possible to view the
source
code of an add-in?

Thankyou for all of your help (in advance)
