i am importing excel time data into access. i want to display minutes, seconds and hundredths
in excel i use a mm:ss.00 format and this returns the correct value but access won't allow this format

when i use the ms format it actually returns a different value. a 1:07.893 time in excel returns 1:07.89 when i use mm:ss.00 and this gives me the correct value. when i use nn:.ss.ms it returns 1:08.18 for some reason. the format that works for me in excel dosn't play ball in access
any ideas
 
jamwat,

It is considered poor manners on this and every other forum I visit to post the same query more than once. You originally posed this question here at 2104 yesterday. If you're frustrated at the lack of a working answer, simply add a comment to your original posting. That will bring up back to the top of the list, and will give people who try to help you the other answers you've received.
