Default Problem with default date/Time


I'm working with some hospitals tracking the times patients come in and
out of the ER. Times are entered in Excel and then imported into
Access. Since patients can obviously leave the ER after Midnight, I
enter the times as 24 hours PLUS the time they left i.e. 3AM=27:00
which translates to 1/1/1900 3:00AM. This avoids having to write in
the date which would double the amount of time I spend on this project.
However, since the default date in Excel is 1/0/1900 when I import this
into Access, Access interprets the date as 12/30/1899.

Is there a way to change the default date of 1/0/1900 to say, 1/1/1900
or any other time?

Any other possible solutions?

Thanks!
Mike
