Hi,
I create a text file in access with the merge fields for a word document.
However I set the output it always includes the time part of the date of
birth as zeros e.g. 12/2/60 00:00:00 which I then have to manually delete
from my word document once the field codes have been unlinked.

I cant seem to control this with format either.

Any suggestions?

Hi,
Sorry about this.
Just worked it out.
The format identifiers must be upper case for the month other wise it
displays time data.

{ Mergefield DateOfBirth  \@ "dd/MM/yyyy"}
