convert numbers to time

I was working in Excel and typed in my time values as numbers (military
time), exported the data to Access and now would like to convert my numbers
to hrs:nn. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Access does not have a "time" data type. Access does have a Date/Time data
type.

If you only have time, consider storing that data in Access as Text, then
coming up with procedures that do the conversion/formatting.

Try this using your text field name for BigField --
Expr1: IIf([BigField] Is
Null,Null,IIf([BigField]="2400",CVDate("00:00:00"),CVDate(Left([BigField],2)
& ":" & Right([BigField],2) & ":00")))
