Converting medium time to short time

[James]

I have a form where I need users to be able to enter a
medium time format (4:55 pm) and then have Access convert
the time to short time (16:55) automatically when they tab
to the next field.

Simply apply the format property you want for when the control does not have
focus. The user will still be able to enter the time in any format that Access
will recognize as a valid time entry. Just don't use an Input mask.
