Or, going to perhaps as an extreme, two rotating selection boxes (up/down
arrows) to circulate hours (from 00 to 23) and a second for mins (from 00 to
59).  Wouldn't go there myself, but perhaps an option under some
circumstances.  At least it would be absolutely accurate especially if
populated from the System Time for 'Time now/Time future' entries whereby an
'Enter/Click' would accept the defaults as presented.

This would mean extra work, but if you think the users will make mistakes
you could always let them enter regular time, mark it as am or pm and
convert it internally to military time.

However, you can use the Short Time format, which is 17:00.  Then all you
need do on a form is use "00:00" for the format string.  Access short time
won't let you enter 2400, which has to be converted to 0000 hours in the
form.
