Default Insert spinning button with time format in Excel 2000?

Thanks Dave and Biff,
Is there a way to make a default value like 7:45 but be able to change it if
necessary? Is there a way to type in a number like 7 and have it
automatically go to 7:00? Would this work when I save as a template and then
when my users use it as a worksheet the formulas would be locked and they
could just type a 7 for it to go to 7:00?

Thanks so much for your help!!!

I put a spinner from the Forms toolbar on a worksheet.
I rightclicked on it and chose format control.
On the control tab, I used:
Minimum value: 0
maximum value: 96
Incremental change: 1
And cell link A1
Then in B1, I put:
=a1/96
and formatted as time: hh:mm

96 is the number of 15 minute increments in a day (4*24).

You could use this same technique with a spinbutton from the control toolbox
toolbar.

I am making a form template in Excel 2000. Every time I try to enter a
spinner button I can't get it to work with time format. I want the time to
be between 00:00 and 24:00 with 15 minute increments. I've tried with and
without the colons but nothing is working.
