I would like to create a form that has at least 5 timers on it to count down
the time from when a start button is pressed, counting down from 60, 10, 5,
3, and 2 minutes. There needs to be a reset button, with the times reset for
each. What would be the code for this?

Well, you'ld use the form's Timer property to count down by seconds or minutes
as you prefer, updating five textboxes. It's not clear whether these are all
independent, or each have their own start and stop buttons, or how you want
the timer to look. More details please!
 
Here's the reverse of what you want. It's a stopwatch. The relevant code can
easily be reversed to count down instead of up:

Since it probably wouldn't make sense to have all 5 timers counting at once,
you could use and option group, combo box, or list box to feed the time. If
you did want all five at once, you should open a form with a message at each
milepost in your timeline.

Access does not have Timer controls, but it does have the Timer property and
event in a single form, so you can also use 5 forms.
