Ok, there you go. I don't think I've ever tried a 24 hour time format - 
I still think in the am/pm format, eventhough I have a part-time job 
where I deal with lots of military types who all speak 24 hour time. I'm 
always translating.

Anyway, I've found the export first method helps me formatmy ecco 
imports properly. I don't do it that often, so I forget inbetweentimes.

Glad that worked for you.
