I am working in a office where I need to keep track of few things to count time. I can't go and stand there all the time. So, I need a program where I can keep track of different things. I have found some codes but I really don't know what & how to utilize it.

this run the clock with micro seconds:
======================================

Code:
Private TimerCell As Range
Private TimerEnabled As Boolean
Private TimerValue As Double

Sub SetTimerCell()
    Set TimerCell = Worksheets("Sheet1").Range("M2")
    TimerCell.NumberFormat = "@"
End Sub

Sub StartTimer()
   
  If TimerEnabled Then Exit Sub
  If TimerCell Is Nothing Then SetTimerCell
  TimerEnabled = True
  ShowTime

End Sub

Sub StopTimer()
  TimerEnabled = False
End Sub

Sub ResetTimer()
  TimerEnabled = False
  If TimerCell Is Nothing Then SetTimerCell
  TimerValue = 600
  TimerCell = "10:00.0"
End Sub

Sub ShowTime()
  
  Dim Delay As Single
  Dim Mins As Integer
  Dim Secs As Variant
  Dim StartTime As Single
  
    Delay = 0.1
    StartTime = Timer
  
      Do While TimerEnabled
      
       
        While Timer < StartTime + Delay: Wend
        
        TimerValue = TimerValue - 0.1
          Mins = Int(TimerValue) \ 60
          Secs = TimerValue - (Mins * 60)
        TimerCell.Value = Format(Mins, "00") & ":" & Format(Secs, "00.0")
        
        StartTime = Timer
               
        DoEvents
         
        Loop
      
End Sub

this clock will run in A1 with running time and in A2 is will show Date and time (running time) depends on cell format

Code:
Dim RunClk As Boolean
'-----------------------
Sub RunPauseClk()
RunClk = Not (RunClk)
Do While RunClk = True
DoEvents
Range("A1") = TimeValue(Now)
Range("A2") = Now()
Loop

End Sub
------------------------------------

macro for running realtime clock:
Code:
Dim SchedRecalc As Date
Sub Recalc()
Range("C4").Value = Format(Time, "hh:mm:ss AM/PM")

Call SetTime
End Sub

Sub SetTime()
SchedRecalc = Now + TimeValue("00:00:01")
Application.OnTime SchedRecalc, "Recalc"
End Sub
---------------------------------------------------------

To add date, just add:
Code:
Range("C3").Value = Format(Now, "dd-mmm-yy")
after sub Recalc() in above macro

=========================================================

disable the running realtime clock (stopping the clock):

Code:
Sub Disable()
On Error Resume Next
Application.OnTime EarliestTime:=SchedRecalc, Procedure:="Recalc", Schedule:=False
End Sub

I want to get the total active time and keep it permanent even sheet is open after weeks.
My requirements are as followed:
At 5:30pm I have entered some time values on A (4:15pm) and date on B (31-07-2011) then I need a clock to start ticking on E starting 00/00:00:00hrs (dd/hh:mm:ss) but it was already 01:15:00 hour delayed so clock should start with 01:15hrs saying that activity was already started 01:15hrs before and keep running the clock on E till I enter the finish time on C (08:15) and date (31-07-2011)on D then I should have total time of the activity automatically (00/02:45:00) on E

Many thanks,
