But that doesn't seem to work. What am I doing wrong?

But if it's set to do something at a certain time - - as in countdown to 9PM.... then the text won't change. Could it be that the system doesn't realize a timed countdown vs. a countdown timer?

Thanks again for the sarcasm -- -I am gathering everyone around the screen to read it - and they all REALLY enjoyed it.

Programming logic.
