BIDS 2008: Import flat file: fixing bad format in a time column

$

I'm learning to use BIDS 2008 and have had success in using the Import Wizard to import a tab-delimited flat file into a SQL Server 2008 database.  The only problem I sometimes encounter is when people enter times in incorrect format.  For example, when they should enter "7:45 AM" they enter "7:45am" or "7:45 a.m.".  Because I need this import to run automatically as a job, I need BIDS to be able to flag the incorrect formats and do spot transformation as necessary.

I bought two different BIDS 2008 manuals. The "Error Handling" sections leave much to be desired.  All they do is say that error handling can be done, but provide absolutely zero examples.

Can anyone recommend and instructional sources to handle this type of problem?  Thanks.
