I have a calculation field which subtracts INITIAL TIMESTAMP from CURRENT TIMESTAMP. This field measures elapsed minutes from start to stop.

I would like to keep a running total of elapsed time, kind of like a stop watch. I would like a screen to refresh itself periodically to post the current amount of elapsed minutes.

Is there a way to script this field refresh, or does it require some kind of plug in?

Thanks,

Jarvis

You'll need a looping script running that refreshes the screen at regular intervals -- pretty ugly and fragile too.

Thsi is one area where FMP isn't strong.

A plugin might be available for it.

Thanks Vaughan,

I will stop banging my head against this wall.
