Ben,I tried the manually built timer, clever by the way. It does not track accurately enough, nor does it keep synchronized with the test timer, in order to offer a "1 minute remaining" alert in a 30 minute total timed test. If I could only identify the variable name that displays the test time remaining, I could lick this thing before you could say, "PutATimedTestInALectoraAssessmentThenUsedThatVariableToDisp layOneMinuteRemainingAlert!!" three times fast.Thanks again, TimEdited By: tigger on 2007-9-28 15:23:17
