In SS2000 Enterprise Manager, in a date/time field, i was able to type in
16.25, and it would recognize that as the same thing as 16:25, and convert
it properly to a time of 4:25 PM.
In the SS2005 Management Console however, it does not recognize the period
as a time-delimiter between hours and minutes, and i have to type the times
in with a colon.
Is there a way to set Management Console to recognize the period as well as
the colon? It is a lot easier when you are typing in a lot of fields, to
just type "period" than to type "shift-semicolon".
If not, its not a BIG deal, but it sure would be nice.

Thanks in advance,
