Creating a Countdown clock!

[Kavy]

Hey all, I would like to create a countdown clock which counts the hours till I am done my shift work. The only way I would know is use vb in excel, enable macros, maybe have the numbers 0 through 9 as pictures. Set them all as varibles to be loaded when its there turn and have the macro contunisly running.

Anyone else have a better way in excel?

Can you make a stand alone program to do this? Can you export a form out of excel and make it an exe file?

Any tips would be great for me to start a search on, thanks for any and all help!

Well, You can use VB.Net Express from Microsoft. It's free and there are lots of free guides and videos for new users.
