Hi all,  
I need to make a Countdown timer using comboboxes (probably) that, when a user puts in their **17th** birthday, can see how long it is until then. I highlight 17 because I want the user to specify the particular year as well as day and month. I would then want a timer that counts down to that particular date!

Thanks a lot in advance
