Hi Jakub & Nick
Thank you very much for your reply.

Today I tried again with SimpleDateFormat and I am getting the time that I
want.
I need to get it in the format KK:mm:ss:SS

K       Hour in am/pm (0-11)

So I read about the java date formats and I am glad that I made it with the
help of you both.

Next step that I will have to learn how to convert excel 95 to excel 97. 

Thank you very much to you both.

Maria
