Thanks Bob- I am having issues though - How do I get this to run? I can input
it fine but it is not updating anything. I follow the instructions you gave
me and then just X out of the screen to go back to the file, but then what?
Am I missing something?

Yeah, add a workbook open procedure


Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ShowTime
End Sub

'This is workbook event code.

'select View Code from the menu, and paste the code

So there is no way to have the file up - like a schedule and have it
update
the time every minute to do a conditional format?

I apprecaite the feedback

Not quite, you will need to launch it, ToolsMacroMacros..., select

Thanks - So I just enter this in - go back to the file and it should
automatically refresh the file every minute to update the time while I
have
the file open?

Add this procedures

Public nTime as double

Public Sub ShowTime()
Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("A1").Value = Format(Time,
"hh:mm:ss")
nTime = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime nTime, "ShowTime"
End Sub

and run it.

You need to stop it also

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Application.OnTime ntime, "ShowTime", , False
End Sub

Is there anyway to have an excel file up and have it automatically
refresh
the file so that the time gets updated every minute?
Thanks
