It sounds like the macro isn't running.

My first guess is that the user either disabled macros when they opened the
file--or they have their security settings set that macros are disabled (and
never see the prompt).

Tools|macro|security|security level is where I'd start.

Yelling at the user to enable macros is where I'd finish <vbg.

(Since the macro isn't running, when you format that cell as a date/time, excel
sees 1600 as 1600 days past 12/31/1899 which happens to be 5/18/1904.)

I can enter the time like the following

1600 and it will format to 16:00. This is on my computer.

On another user they can type in
1600 and it will come up 0:00
In the formula bar it shows - 5/18/1904 12:00am

What number do they enter?

What shows up in the formula bar when they're done?

I have a code in my workbook so that when you enter time you do not have to
enter the colon, you just enter 1230 and it will format as 12:30. The
workbook is used by about ten different people and is on a network drive. It
works fine on my computer but when another user opens the workbook on their
computer it does not work. When they enter the time it comes up as 00:00.

Can anyone tell me what is going on? Here is the code that I am using:

Private Sub Worksheet_Change(ByVal Target As Excel.Range)
Dim TimeStr As String

On Error GoTo EndMacro
If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("G4:K8000")) Is Nothing Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Cells.Count 1 Then
Exit Sub
End If
If Target.Value = "" Then
Exit Sub
End If

Application.EnableEvents = False
With Target
If .HasFormula = False Then
Select Case Len(.Value)
Case 1 ' e.g., 1 = 00:01 AM
TimeStr = "00:0" & .Value
Case 2 ' e.g., 12 = 00:12 AM
TimeStr = "00:" & .Value
Case 3 ' e.g., 735 = 7:35 AM
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 1) & ":" & _
Right(.Value, 2)
Case 4 ' e.g., 1234 = 12:34
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 2) & ":" & _
Right(.Value, 2)
Case 5 ' e.g., 12345 = 1:23:45 NOT 12:03:45
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 1) & ":" & _
Mid(.Value, 2, 2) & ":" & Right(.Value, 2)
Case 6 ' e.g., 123456 = 12:34:56
TimeStr = Left(.Value, 2) & ":" & _
Mid(.Value, 3, 2) & ":" & Right(.Value, 2)
Case Else
Err.Raise 0
End Select
.Value = TimeValue(TimeStr)
End If
End With
Application.EnableEvents = True
Exit Sub
EndMacro:
MsgBox "You did not enter a valid time"
Application.EnableEvents = True
End Sub
