Countdown to a date?

Ages ago, I made a small count down program to count down to my holiday!

The holiday date was added to the code and a time was used to count down the days, hours, mins and seconds to the holiday date. The countdown time was displayed in a label but its been ages since i last touched VB and its left my mind. Any help?

Try this, as you can see, its counting down to the end of the year.

Code:

Dim d As Double

d = CDbl(DateSerial(Year(Now), 12, 31) - Now) 'put your holiday date here

Label1.Caption = Int(d) & " Days and " & CDate(1 - Time)
