      put a timer on the form put timer interval at 1 sec on click of accept button start timer on every timertick you increase a global variable by 1 on click of hangup button stop timer do some calculating with the global variable and you know how much time past (I'm sure there are better ways to do this but don't have the time to look for one at the moment)

      If my help was helpfull let me know, if not let me know why. The only way we learn is by making mistaks.

        A more accurate way than was suggested: DateTime start; button1Click { start = DateTime.Now; } button2Click { TimeSpan elapsed = DateTime.Now - start; } This approach is more accurate and simpler than playing with timers.

              dim elapsed as timespan = date.now - start should do it

                That's because the code Christian posted is C#, not VB.NET. Though, it's easily translatable.

                    that would need a timer that ticks periodically (say every 100 msec) and updates the label to show the difference between now and start. :)

                        so do it. and if you need something new, read the relevant documentation and do some experiments. And only if that does not help, ask a specific question on CodeProject... :)
