    Lightbulb Timer has paused if I press = sign

    Hi,

    I have created an Exam Sheet where I want to run the timer and the user can finish the exam or auto closed when time up. After that file should be autosaved with password protection. Please find the attached file for your reference. I am facing the following issues:

    1) The timer is not running if I press = sign, after pressing enter key it will aging running properly
    2) User will not be allowed to insert or delete any new sheet
    3) Range Protection should apply after starting the timer
    4) The file should be auto-saved with a password

    Please help me to fix these issues. If any other information are required please let me know.

    Thanks & Regards,
    Biplab Chandra

    Excel is not suitable for some things ... it is not a development environment for creating multi-tasking applications.
