    Lightbulb count down all forms

    Hi,



    I have an exam system and I am able to display a count down for 90 minutes (1:30 hrs) in one form. inside the form i have the button that goes to next set of questions which opens a new form and closes the current form. I need the time to show again the 2nd form and continue counting, is that possible?

    Thanks,

    One way is to put it on a hidden form and then all forms will reference that textbox. Another is to have a global VBA module and it can be a Public variable.

    You would need to pass the remaining time to the next form.
    You could do this with an OpenArgs property or store it on close in a Public variable, or save it in a local table and then look it up ?
