I'm trying to merge some data from an access 97 database which is input in
the usual date format (i.e. 31/05/2005), but when its merged with mail merge
(in office 2003), it shows on my merged document as 5/31/2005.

Have tried usual stuff like settings on pc, insert date settings etc etc,
but to no avail. It needs to be in dd/mm/yyyy format.
