timers aren't always right it'ld be better if you got the time(then) then compare it to the current time(now) then get the difference
like;
started at:
12:30 P.M.
Current:
1:00 P.M.
you'll have to use 24 hour time though unless you want A LOT of code

If you must use a timer ... interval is in milliseconds therefore 1000 represent one second.

If you dont want to use the standard VB timers, which tends to be not 100% acurate try the High Performance timers from CCRP.

Mail me and i'll mail you the file.
But yes you have to set the timer interval to 60000 to get 60 secs.
