Hi,

With some help today (thanks a lot Paul Robinson) I have used some code on a
Worksheet Change to
ensure that time is being entered into my spreadsheet in the correct format.
So far it all works brilliantly and all time is displayed as hh:mm no matter
what is entered whether it be a full 1030 or just 9 etc. The only problem I
have is that if the user chooses to put the : in themselves (which some will)
it returns a 'Enter A Valid Time' error. Paul helped add the Replace
statement to try and take the : out of play but it still isnt working. Could
anyone else offer any suggestions?

Basically if you enter 09:30 you get the error message but then 09:30
remains in the cell in the correct format. I could leave it like this but
when it goes to the end users I will get hundreds of phone calls because they
are getting an error even though the end result is still correct. I could
just use On Error Resume Next but I think this would be a little lazy.

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


'On Error GoTo EndMacro
If Application.Intersect(Target, Range("F8:F51")) 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
TimeStr = .Value
TimeStr = CStr(Replace(TimeStr, ":", ""))

If .HasFormula = False Then
Select Case Len(TimeStr)
Case 1 ' e.g., 1 = 01:00 AM
TimeStr = Left(TimeStr, 2) & ":00"
Case 2 ' e.g., 12 = 12:00 AM
TimeStr = TimeStr & ":00"
Case 3 ' e.g., 123 = 1:23 AM
TimeStr = Left(TimeStr, 1) & ":" & _
Right(TimeStr, 2)
Case 4 ' e.g., 1234 = 12:34 AM
TimeStr = Left(TimeStr, 2) & ":" & _
Right(TimeStr, 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
