Try entering =NOW() and see what you get
If you want to enter times manually, enter 7:20 for example, not just a number The number will be interpreted as a date, 0:00h You can check that in the formula bar -- Kind regards, Niek Otten "Mardy" wrote in message ... |

I tried that and what I got was the current time. I need to enter many
different times into a database and really didn't want to have to type the colon : for each time entry. Can you think of any other thing I might try?

Chip Pearson has code to allow quick time entry. i.e. entry of 720 becomes 7:20 entry of 9298 Converted to 2-Sep-1998 http://www.cpearson.com/excel/DateTimeEntry.htm Gord Dibben Excel MVP On Tue, 22 Nov 2005 09:22:04 -0800, "Mardy" wrote: I tried that and what I got was the current time.
