Default Date Time Stamp Dilemna

I posted something similar to this a while back and the solution didn't
work. Now I am back on this issue. I import from a crystal report a
summary log containing the records of when people where working. There
is a start time and end time column that are formated as such :

9/26/2006 12:35:47 AM

To extract the date from the time so I can compare who was where and on
what date etc... I use text to columns, and this is where I have
problems. For instance take the above date time stamp, when it is
broken down by date and time I have the following:

9/26/2006 (In one column) 12:35:47 PM ( In the second column)

I believe it is because the way Windows/Excel looks at the date and
time...and is reversing the actual AM/PM section. I have another
example that the date/time is:

10/18/2006 7:51:35 PM But it breaks out as: 10/18/2006 and 7:51:35
AM

How can I get the time to remain AM if it is AM and PM if it is PM???


Thanks,


Hans
