Default 60 Second Countdown NOT using the WAIT function...

Hi all

I am creating a 60 second countdown in XL2002 which currently uses the
system time and the wait function: Application.Wait (Now +
TimeValue("0:00:01")). After each second a cell value decreases (60 down to
0) and another cells Interior.Colorindex is changed.

This works well, but I need to be able to interupt the countdown to add
data, and then resume the countdown - something that can't be done using the
wait function.

I would like to interupt the countdown by pressing a button, which in turn
pops up a userform to add data to a table - (again, something that works but
not whilst the countdown is working!)

Is there another way of approaching this?

Thanks in advance!

Trevor
