'i can't write the whole shebang (designing the windows, 'setting label captions etc.). this snippet just does the 'timer stuff. There are numerous ways to do this, but 'here's one way to do it: dim dd as Date dd="02:00:00" timr: sleep 1000 dateadd("s",-1,dd) dd=left(Cstr(dd),8) if dd="12:00:00" then dd="00:00:00" window1.label1.caption=dd window2.label1.caption=dd window3.label1.caption=dd... dah dah dah for all windows if dd<>"00:00:00" then goto timr
