Default Storing time formats in strings

Cell "A1" is formatted to accept time data in the format of:

[h]:mm

If I run the following code:

Dim s as String
s = Range("A1").Value
MsgBox s

The message box will display a long floating point number
instead of the time that is displayed in the cell. Is there
a way to store the time that is displayed in a cell into a
string variable??

thnak you

Use the Text property instead of the Value property...

s = Range("A1").Text
