I have the two macros as desribed in the title. I tried the Runall macro posted a while ago; but I can only have the clock or the timer running.

    It sounds like there may be a conflict between the two macros you have. One possible solution is to modify the macros to work together or create a new macro that incorporates both functions. Here's an example of how you could modify the macros to work together:

    Sub StartClockAndTimer()
    'Starts the clock
    StartClock
    'Starts the timer
    StartTimer
    End Sub
    
    Sub StartClock()
    'Code to start the clock
    End Sub
    
    Sub StartTimer()
    'Code to start the timer
    End Sub
    

    By creating a new macro that calls both StartClock and StartTimer, you should be able to run both functions simultaneously.

    Another option is to add a conditional statement to each macro that checks whether the other macro is running. If so, it could pause or stop the other macro before starting itself. This approach would require more complex code, but it would allow you to have both macros available to run separately.

    If you're still having trouble getting both macros to work together, it might be helpful to share the code for each macro so we can better understand what's going on.
