Default Date/Time Macro Puzzle

Hi, everyone--

Here is a macro that deposits the date and time into a cell, but which =
is=20
supposed to pop up a warning box when the time is after 5:00PM:

Sub NewDateAndTime()

Dim mPrompt As String
Dim mBoxStyle As Long
Dim mTitle As String
Dim mMsg As Variant

mPrompt =3D "It's after 5:00 PM! Click OK to enter time, but please =
remember=20
to enter TOTAL HOURS WORKED TONIGHT in the yellow box at right.=20
Thanks!"
mBoxStyle =3D 64
mTitle =3D "AFTER-HOURS ENTRY"

With ActiveCell

.Value =3D Now
.NumberFormat =3D "mm/dd/yy h:mm AM/PM"

If Now Mod 1 17 / 24 Then
mMsg =3D MsgBox(mPrompt, mBoxStyle, mTitle)
End If

End With

End Sub

The puzzle is this: in its current formulation, a warning box NEVER =
appears,=20
regardless of the time of day. However, if I reverse the sign in the=20
"If...Then" clause to <, a warning box ALWAYS appears, again regardless =
of=20
the time of day. (I have tried replacing the 17/24 designation with its=20
decimal equivalent [about 0.708333], but the same problem occurs.)

I have no idea what's going wrong. Any ideas how to get the warning to=20
appear only after 5:00 PM? I appreciate your help--this is driving me =
nuts!
