    Never used but my guess is that form can have only one Timer event. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ffice.11).aspx

    You can use the same timer for all of this. Here's a sample.

    Sample removed since it doesn't act like it was requested. I ran out of time to test and posted before a meeting.
    Hopefully Toyman's example does what you need.

    how can i adjust that after certain time i need the color change lets say i set the timer for 30min. and when 5 min left to count down i want to color change to red and gives me warning sound. and can i set those timers to my access database each form 2 or more. last thing your example database does not count negative it just shows up and then goes back to 59 seconds.

    Ok, see if this works. I only put the codes in the "CCP FORM" form. If the sound don't work, change the path of the sound wave in the code to a sound wave path that works.

    this is awesome. You are the best in access, i have to say that. only think that when it goes 0 it does not count like -00:01, -00:02 i wanted to see that soldier stay on the line how many negative minutes i want it to be infinite count after 0. if you can do that too this is awesome. i really say thank you.!!

    Ok, try this one. It was not going neg because of the input mask. To adhere to the input mask, if the number turns negative, the color of the number will turn green.
