Does anyone have an example of a Validation Rule that would check the
input from a user who would enter a Time. All of the help that I have
found just says Expression. Would this be Regular Expression?

Nope, an "expression" is just code in the language of your project.
Validation rules simply are expressions that evaluate to true or false.
PRobably would be more clear if you just put "a"="b" in one rule and looked
for where it appears in the code file - then you'll see how it's being
utilized.

You can use a regular expression. In PHP it would look something like this
if ( preg_match("/^(\-)?[0-9]{1,2}:[0-9]{1,2}(:[0-9]{1,2})?$/", $time) )
true - do something
else
false - do something

you could, of course, use two listboxes; one for hours (00-12 or 00-24) and
one for minutes (00-59)

Would the Input Validation be using RegEx for its validation. I just
discovered this on an email text box which gave me a string starting
with ^[\w\-]{1,}\@ etc.
