i need to put a timer in place so when i click the start button it counts from 0-60 or 60-0 and when it hits 60 or 0 it stops does anyone have any ideas?

sure, define an integer and you're done, the command button should be something like

i = 0
timer1.enabled= true

the timer should say something like

i=i+1
if i >60 then timer1.enabled= false
