I am not a coder, just a regular guy trying to use VBA to help me automate some tasks at work :)

I have this form that I am using to collect data, there is a combobox I am using for user to pick the time. I tried finding an easy date and time picker but was not able to find so I am having the user just type it in.

It works fine however, it seems like there is a more efficient way to write this code or to solve for the problem of picking the time, any suggestions?

VBA Code:
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "9am" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "9:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "10am" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "10:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "11am" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "11:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "12pm" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "12:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "1pm" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "13:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "2pm" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "14:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "3pm" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "15:00"
Else
If ComboBoxTimes.value = "4pm" Then
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = "16:00"
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If
End If

Excel Facts

How can you turn a range sideways?
Copy the range. Select a blank cell. Right-click, Paste Special, then choose Transpose.
Show your events (Sub or Function) lines otherwise we could be suggesting what you're already using. I suggest combo AfterUpdate event and one line:
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = ComboBoxTimes

That assumes the bound column of your combo contains those values (which it looks like they don't). In that case, easiest would probably be to add the equal 24 hour values beside the ones you've shown. You don't have to show them. Then refer to that column and use those values:
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = ComboBoxTimes.Column(1)

Column count is zero based, so 1 is 2nd column.

How about

VBA Code:
ActiveSheet.Range("O" & lRow) = CDate(ComboBoxTimes.value)
