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

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.
