Timer

[William Piersol]

I am trying to create a quiz in Infopath and submit it to Sharepoint. I can
do the quiz and submit it with out problem.

My question is is it possible to time the quiz? I want to start a timer
when the user clicks a "Start Quiz" button, and then if the timer expires
automatically submit the form. If they finish before the timer, they can
click a submit button.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

In a field somewhere, store the current datetime when they click Start Quiz.
And again when they click Submit, store the current datetime in another
field. Then you can do a diff (will likely require code) in order to get the
elapsed time.

I thought about that approach but I need the test to automatically submit if
the timer expires. I guess I am going to have to write code. I was hoping
there was some way out of the box.

Yes, to auto-expire will require code.
