Default Merging Time Fields

Kim,
I believe your data/values are being read like this:
08.30.00 = August 30, 2000 or just August 30 at midnight or 00:00:00 hrs
Because the "08" can represent the month of August
13.30.00 = 13:30:00
Since there is no 13th month, the "13" (or higher figure), will reflect the
24/military time correctly.

I have no control over the text file since it's produced by another
application. I don't understand why 13.30.00 is interpretted correctly but
08.30.00 isn't.
