Progress Bar in loop only displays once

[RobertH]

Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong? I need help understanding why the "ReStart" progress bar only displays the first time it is run and not any other time (lines 79-91). It used to run perfectly until I decided to get fancy and put in the countdown.

I would say try adding in a line between the wend and endif to reset the $CountDown2 variable. My assumption is that because it is global, once it reaches 0 it stays recorded as 0 because there is nothing else to tell it otherwise.

kaotkbliss, that worked! Thanks!
