    Making the Time functions update itself Automatically?

    Hi,

    Just a quick question. How can make the date/time in a Excel spreadsheet to change itself without me having to press enter all the time in order for the time to change. I want the time to change automatically by itself without user intervention.

    I have the time formula of the =NOW() function, but the time does not update itself automatically. How can I do this without entering a character and hitting enter?

    I am really really really rusty on how to create macros if this envolves using a macro or a VBA code.

    Thx.

    you could do tht but as it would be constantly counting it could slow everything else right down
    heres one that updates every 10 seconds you can adjust the interval see code module 1

    You are the boss, thank you for this! I've been searching for 2 days and trying other code etc. just to get a simple clock to work, none of them worked properly (without screwing up the current worksheets) except for yours! Perfect!
