I forgot to say that I can't use date/time fields, I need time only. When I set 
a field to be date and time, entering just a time gave me an automatic, and 
very wrong, date. That is why I wanted the custom format, so I could have times 
only and dates only. Yes, I need the cells to be properly typed (as in dates, 
times, currency, all that) so my formulas will work properly, but the default 
date/time field type is not going to work.
