'In Excel, to display milliseconds but leave the date/times
'values as numbers, use Number Formats on the range:
Select Range-->Format Cells-->Number-->Custom-->[hh]:mm:ss.000
'Or from VBA:
[a1].NumberFormat = "[hh]:mm:ss.000"
'---------------------------------------------------------------------
'But if you need to actually change the data,
'not just how it displays...
