Hello Stokley

When I edit a custom import filter, and choose the TIME field, I get 
three boxes:  Position, Length and Type.
If you click on Type you get a choice of:
Length 5   Type HH:MM
Length 4   Type HHMM
Length 6   Type HHMMSS

If your spreadsheet has a colon in the timme, choose HH:MM and start the 
field in the correct position on the first digit- I think you have what 
you want.
