If time is invalid, a runtime error is generated.
If time is Null, TimeValue returns Null.

Any date information contained within time is ignored by the TimeValue function.
Programming Tips and Gotchas
A time literal can also be assigned to a Variant or Date variable by surrounding the date with hash characters (#), as the following snippet demonstrates:
Dim dMyTime As Date dMyTime = #12:30:00 AM#
The CDate function can also cast a time expression contained within a string as a Date variable, with the additional advantage of being internationally aware.
