How can I change the time portion of a date time column to have 1 minute increments? When you create a coulmn by default it shows 5 minute increments, but I need to be able to use 1 minute increments. For example, I need to be able to pick 12:12, instead of 12:10 or 12:15.

It looks like you are out of luck at least with out of the box datetime field control. A little bit of reverse engineering revealed that they dropdown values are built into the control, not exposed.

You may have to write your own field control.

// Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.DateTimeControl
private string[] m_minutes = new string[]
{
    "00", 
    "05", 
    "10", 
    "15", 
    "20", 
    "25", 
    "30", 
    "35", 
    "40", 
    "45", 
    "50", 
    "55"
};

Or add a content editor web part to your page and override the JavaScript values... :) – Russell Dec 21 '11 at 20:21
yes, worth trying before writing a new control but not sure if that would conflict with viewstate or the code of the control... – Ashish Patel Dec 21 '11 at 20:23

The viewstate would contain the value of the DateTime field, which could contain any valid DateTime value. The Validated values (above) would not be in viewstate. – Russell Dec 21 '11 at 20:28
Do you have a link with a sample of creating a field control? – Bob Dec 21 '11 at 20:46

About creating custom field control you can read here and in addition download some of custom filed controls for sharepoint from codeplex and investigate code (for example this one). Custom field type creation routine for 2010 sharepoint is the same as for 2007 – Kai Dec 22 '11 at 6:14
