Basic Time Question NEED HELP

This is probably a very simple question but I'm just starting to get the hang of this VB thing. It's very simple, I want to be able to click a buton and the program starts counting minutes.

Click once, timer starts

click another button and timer stops

displays minutes in a textbox.

any help would be great. Thanks

make 2 command buttons
name them cmdStartTimer and cmdStopTimer..

VB Code:

Private Sub cmdStartTimer_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
 
Private Sub cmdStopTimer_Click()
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Text1.Text = "0"
Timer1.Interval = 1000
Timer1.Enabled = False
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Text1.Text = Val(Text1.Text) + 1
End Sub

basically this is the code with no formatting to the text..

VB Code:

Public a As Integer
 
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
If Timer1.Enabled = True Then
Timer1.Enabled = False
Else
Timer1.Enabled = True
End If
 
 
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Timer1.Enabled = False
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
a = a + 1
Text1.Text = a
 
 
 
End Sub

If u need any explanation, jes ask

*** happened to the spaces in [Highlight=VB]??? :confused:

btw my code counts seconds, so to count by minutes just set the interval of the timer to 60000.
