I have uploaded an ASCII text file to Excel. One of the fields is a 6 digit
field for time. When I get it in the spreadsheet, I can not change it to
time (154503 - should be 15:45:03). I've tried all the time and custom
features but it still won't work or it will give me 00:00:00.
Any ideas what I need to do?

You could use a formula such as
=TIME(LEFT(A1,2),MID(A1,3,2),RIGHT(A1,2))
