Hi people way smarter than me.
I have a nice large workbook that I want to close at a certain time(for auto report calculations driven at my workstation)
I have utilized the ontime command to open a message box to warn the user that i am going to close the workbook in 15 seconds.
I though it would be swanky to have a countodown timer and I'm just not understanding the countdown functions.
My thoughts were to just program 15 message boxes, but then I thought if a user closed one another would pop up in 1 second.
Looking for a little guidance.

Thanks,

MAXX_DADDY
