MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / March 2005How do I get UK date format merging into word from Access?
Am using XP, Office 2003. Database in Access with UK date format entering ok (dd/mm/yy). Mail merging into Word document always transfers date format to US! (mm/dd/yy)! Have been altering dates manually for ages, but am getting tired of it! Any suggestions will be greatly received. I think I have tried everything! Gavvers, Try adding a date picture switch to the merge field {MERGEFIELD "Your mergefield name" \@ "dd/MM/yy"}  SignatureGreg Maxey/Word MVP A Peer in Peer to Peer Support http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/word_tips.htm > Am using XP, Office 2003.

Gavvers, Better yet, See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods" topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MergFram.htm Gavvers, Better yet, See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods" topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy Meister's website at http://homepage.swissonline.ch/cindymeister/MergFram.htm
