    Stopping a Timer / Running a timer simultaneously on Excel

    Private Sub cmdstartimer2_Click()
    startClock2
    End Sub
    Public Sub startClock2()

    Dim start
    Range("F7").Select
    start = Timer

    Do While stopped = False
    DoEvents
    Worksheets("Stopw").Range("F5").Value = Int((Timer - start + 0.5) / 60)
    Worksheets("Stopw").Range("H5").Value = (Timer - start) Mod 60
    Worksheets("Stopw").Range("I5").Value = (Timer - start + 0.5) - (Int(Timer -
    start + 0.5))
    Worksheets("Stopw").Range("D5").Value = Int((Timer - start + 0.5) / 3600)

    Loop

    End Sub

    I am using this VBA Code to start a timer process. I Can run more than one,
    but not simultaneously, and also I need a process to stop the timer. Can
    anyone help???
    Thanks (in advance)

    Check out Chip Pearson's http://www.cpearson.com/excel/ontime.htm

    As far as running multiple routines goes, it is possible but I would not
    recommend it since XL/VBA are not designed with multi-threading in mind.
