Hi;

Been working on this for a few hours and getting nowhere fast.

Using Access 2k as the data source for a mail merge to Word 2k.

Have read the posts, have read Microsoft's KBs and also have read Cindy
Meister web site re: Date format.

{MERGEFIELD StartDate \@ MMMM,yyyy}

And still getting nowhere fast.  The date still displays as:
01/01/2005
instead of the desired:
January, 2005.

Typed the code,  Copy and Pasted the code.  Even changed the name of the
original field to match the examples at Microsoft and Cindy Meister.  No Go.

Would someone tell me the answer?
