I not an expert in reading these codes yet, so one simple question: How often
does this code refresh the data? And how do I set the refresh frequency to
ex. 1 sek or 1 minute?

Thanks

Paste the folllowing in a standard module:
'---------------------------------------
Option Explicit

Dim dTimer As Date

Sub initTimer()
Range("A1").Value = Now
dTimer = Now + TimeSerial(0, 0, 1)
Application.OnTime dTimer, "InitTimer"
End Sub

Sub stopTimer()
Application.OnTime dTimer, "InitTimer", , False
End Sub
'----------------------------------------

and the following in ThisWorkbook code:
'-------------------------------------------
Option Explicit

Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
stopTimer
End Sub

Private Sub Workbook_Open()
initTimer
End Sub
'--------------------------------------------

Sorry, I can get this code to work. Nothing happens. I have put the code in
the two different places: Module 1 and This workbok. What's wrong?

I have a workbook created by Bob Phillips which is a demo of exactly the kind
of continuous background time display you describe. It uses API calls.
Unforunately, I don't remember the URL where I downloaded it. The file's name
is "Interactive Clock v5.1.xls" Bob Phillips is a big name on these forums,
so it may not be hard to find his website & and the file. Otherwise, I am
happy to e-mail it to you.

Regards,

Hutch
