ok my program starts on a log in screen and depending if your a admin or a user u enter your info and click on the relivent button.

What i want to know is that is it possible to start a timer (i know how to do that)
then as it switches to a new form when you login the timer still ticks over and say "logintimer" keeps going up by one

i think this make sence :)

To access the timer on other form use the the formname.timername . and don't unload the other form just hide that while you work with second form.

IN Form1's Timer1_Timer event write this code :

frmMainMenu.lblLoginTimer.Caption = Now
