Hello All

This really follows on from my previous post. I have a worksheet that will
be used for simple data entry of name, address, etc etc. - 1 column per
field. One of the columns will be 'start time' (column S) and the next
column will be 'end time' (column T). I have 2 problems:

1. Even though I have set the format of the cells in the 'start time' column
as Time, with a Type of 13:30, if I enter just "8" (without the
apostrophies) the displayed value is 0:00.

2. I need to ensure that 'end time' is 'start time'. When I set the
validation of the cells in the 'end time' column to be Custom with a formula
of "S:S" (without the apostrophies) this didn't work, and when I tried
setting the validation of the cells in the 'end time' column to allow Time
with a formula of "=S:S" (without the apostrophies) I got a message saying
that I cannot use a direct reference to a worksheet range in a data
validation formula.

Hope someone can help

Many thanks
Les
