Microsoft® Visual Basic® Scripting Edition TimeValue Function | Language Reference Version 1

##### Description

> Returns a Variant of subtype Date containing the time.

##### Syntax

> TimeValue(time)

> The time argument is usually a string expression representing a time from 0:00:00 (12:00:00 A.M.) to 23:59:59 (11:59:59 P.M.), inclusive. However, time can also be any expression that represents a time in that range. If time contains Null, Null is returned.

##### Remarks

> You can enter valid times using a 12-hour or 24-hour clock. For example, "2:24PM" and "14:24" are both valid time arguments. If the time argument contains date information, TimeValue doesn't return the date information. However, if time includes invalid date information, an error occurs.

> The following example uses the TimeValue function to convert a string to a time. You can also use date literals to directly assign a time to a Variant (for example, MyTime = #4:35:17 PM#).

> >     Dim MyTime
> >     MyTime = TimeValue("4:35:17 PM")    ' MyTime contains "4:35:17 PM".
