Default hh:mm:ss keeps converting to a date

Hi Brian,

The hh:mm:ss format is interpreting hours 24 as days and then shows the
remainder.
Creating a special format of [h]:mm:ss.00 gets round this

I am trying to work on a spreadsheet for work where I am keeping track of
time by hours, minutes and seconds. I format the cells for hh:mm:ss.00 but
each time I enter the hours, seconds, minutes, it converts to a date field
and changes to another hh:mm:ss value. The value I have entered is 42:37:26
