Is there a way to retrieve a wintimer ID when it starts running, the system automatically assigns a number to it when it starts so it knows what to end when you end it, this is what I want to retrieve.
 

Excel Facts

Using Function Arguments with nested formulas
If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Hi John,

Based on the answer that you provided as per below, I therefore thought that if the operating system allocated a number that somehow I could retrieve that number.
I still have problems where my timer loses focus and therefore either keeps running even though killtimer is run, or 2 instances of the timer start running and therefore they both run at double speed.

A TimerID is a number allocated by the operating system
