I *always* try out the stuff before I post.
Didn't save the test book though, and when I tried it again

I can't either, but if you type 9999:00 into a cell and drag it
down one it will put 10000:00 into the cell
displaying as 19/02/1901 16:00:00 if you click on the formula bar

Sorry for the confusion, I did think I had typed it in rather than
calculated it.
But I did get it into a cell without using a formula :)

Hi Steve,

How did you find this information? I tried also in XL2000, and I found,
that
entering 10000:00 results in a text instead if time value just like in
XL2003!

Stefi

XL2000 doesn't have this limit
not on inputted or calculated values

Thanks to all of you for your posts, they fully cleared the question
for
me!
Nevertheless I still think that this is a stupid limit!

Hi All,

[h]:mm time format seems to work only up to 9999 hours, XL2003
doesn't
handle 10000 hours as time, 10000:00 remains text. Is this an
unchangeable
limit?

Thanks,
Stefi
