Altering cell contents

[MelissaCreek]

Hi,
What I am trying to achieve is to be able to alter the contents of a
particular cell. If I type 2300 into the cell I want the cell to
automatically update with 23:00

The code I have so far is:

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As
Range)
Dim TargetRow As String
Dim TargetColumn As String
Dim IntValue As String
Dim TargetHours As String
Dim TargetMins As String

TargetRow = Target.Row
TargetColumn = Target.Column

IntValue = Format(Target.Worksheet.Cells(Target.Row,
Target.Column).Value, "0000")

TargetHours = Left(IntValue, 2)
TargetMins = Right(IntValue, 2)

Target.Worksheet.Cells(Target.Row, Target.Column) = TargetHours & ":" &
TargetMins
End Sub

the trouble is that the cell gets updated with 00:00 all the time.
When I try to format the cell (after it has been formatted) it is
always on a custom format of hh:mm which is OK but I am thinking the
formatting may be at fault somewhere??

I am using office 2000.

Any help is appreciated.

Melissa,

The basic problem is that you need to convert 2300 into time and format as
such, but your code seems overly complex as well. Try this

Private Sub Workbook_SheetChange(ByVal Sh As Object, ByVal Target As Range)

Application.EnableEvents = False
On Error GoTo wb_exit
Target.Value = Target.Value / 24 / 100
Target.NumberFormat = "hh:mm"

wb_exit:
Application.EnableEvents = True

End Sub

Can the code above be used in the worksheet change event so that an
cell's value can be changed within a certain range.

I have tried but an error message comes up saying wit
me.range("A:A").... is not valid.

Thanks
