   Yes both Timer and TimerMin would roll over at midnight and probably aren't   
   all that useful for timing despite their function names lol.   
      
   If you want to count seconds independant of a midnight rollover, you can use   
   the "DateUnix" function which returns the number of seconds since Jan 1, 1970   
   and has no rollover.   
      
   ... Honk if you love peace and quiet!
