Countdown slide in Slide show

I have a PPSM file that I am running on a kiosk computer 24/7.  There is one slide that I am counting down to a future date and I am trying to get it to update automatically and not having much luck....

    I have changed the "trigger" to the following on the slide that plays just before the slide I want to update:

    Private Sub App_SlideShowNextSlide(ByVal Wn As SlideShowWindow)
   Dim Showpos As Integer
   Showpos = Wn.View.CurrentShowPosition + 1
        If Showpos = 1 Then
            Countdown
                End If
End Sub

    This appears to be working.  If I get any errors, I will post back to this thread.  I still welcome any advice.  Thank you.
