Default Time format via Worksheet Change

Hi,

With some help yesterday I have used some code on a Worksheet Change to
ensure that time is being entered into my spreadsheet in the correct format.
So far it all works brilliantly and all time is displayed as hh:mm no matter
what is entered whether it be a full 1030 or just 9 etc. The only problem I
have is that if the user chooses to put the : in themselves (which some will)
it returns a 'Enter A Valid Time' error. I was given the following code to
correct this but I just cannot get it to work/find the correct place for it.
The code I have for the time format is:


Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Range)
Dim TimeStr As String

On Error GoTo EndMacro
If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("F8:F51")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Value = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If .HasFormula = False Then
Select Case Len(.Value)
Case 1 ' e.g., 1 = 01:00 AM
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 2) & ":00"
Case 2 ' e.g., 12 = 12:00 AM
TimeStr = .Value & ":00"
Case 3 ' e.g., 123 = 1:23 AM
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 1) & ":" & _
Right(.Value, 2)
Case 4 ' e.g., 1234 = 12:34 AM
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 2) & ":" & _
Right(.Value, 2)
Case Else
Err.Raise 0
End Select
.Value = TimeValue(TimeStr)
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
EndMacro:
MsgBox "You did not enter a valid time"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub


The code I have been given to add is:

Target.Value = CStr (Replace(Target.Value, ":", ""))


Where should this go and does anything need to be moved within the code? I
put it before the Application.EnableEvents = False and got a loop.
