MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2008date toggle not toggling
have looked at the many date format questions and linked to helping web sites...seems straight forward...yet... {MergeField "QuoteDate"/@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 3/24/08 .... {MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 0000 24. 2008 am syntax confused..... why would I be seeing 0000 ??  SignatureNTC NetworkTrade, Try using for March 24, 2008 {MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "MMMM d, yyyy"}. 1. The /@ "mmmm d, yyyy" switch in first example, may not be recognized as a date switch, so the data in the mergefield is be shown in the default format, based on your regional settings. 2. The lower-case" m" is formatting the data as minutes. So "mmmm", will show the month date as minutes, not month, with leading zeros to your data SignatureAdd MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) <message rule> <<Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate>> have looked at the many date format questions and linked to helping web sites...seems straight forward...yet... {MergeField "QuoteDate"/@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 3/24/08 .... {MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 0000 24. 2008 am syntax confused..... why would I be seeing 0000 ??
