know hoe I can input the times as hh:mm:ss without having to input the colon
:)) inbetween the numbers everytime. Thanks!

I don't know if this is the quickest or best way, but try entering the
time with a space or a period in between the HH MM SS, then when all is
entered do a Search Replace (ctrl H) and replace the space or period
with the colon.

You can format the cell with the following custom code: 00\:00\:00
Be aware that this is only showing as hh:mm:ss
Example: typing 100 (or 0100) will show 00:01:00
typing 10010 will show 01:00:10
If you format the cell with 00\:00 it's showing hh:mm.
