I must not have made myself clear. I am not looking for a clock. I want
a
cell in an Excel 2003 spreadsheet to display the time (counting down)
until
an event (date & time) in another cell of that spreadsheet.

I have the simplest of formulas to give me the time until an event takes
place. In one cell I have the now function ( =now() ). In another cell
the date/time of the event. In a third cell the event date/time-now
formula (formatted h:mm:ss). It works fine but I have to hit F9 to
recalculate. Can I get it to display a constantly updating time showing
the seconds ticking away? Also how can I get it to show the months and
days away an event is in addition to hours/min/sec?

Thanks... Bob
