I have a friend that is trying to read an Excel spreadsheet, where one
column is formatted as TIME. It shows fine in the column (3:00) but when he
tries to read it (external to Excel) he gets the value .125.

I told him it's stored as a fraction of 24 hours, but he wants to get the
"3:00" value (of course) and not the .125 value.

I could not figure it out, off the top of my head, so I thought I'd post to
see if there was a quick response to this. In the mean time, I'll keep
searching.

Thanks,
Larry
 
Turns out the FORMAT function works. Didn't think it would handle it, but it
does.
