time field entry as decimal

[Aussie John]

Hi I have a time field set to 24hour time. This supposed to represent at period of time. ie 1 hour and 30 minutes. (entered 1:30)

Sometimes a user enters 1.5 and this ends becoming 0:0:1.5 ie 1.5 seconds. The field is entered via a display dialog in a script.

Any ideas what I can do about this?

thanks

Hi, Aussie John.

You can restrict entering by validation with checking input.
