MS Office Forum / Word / Mailmerge and Fax / January 2006Datefields from Access
Hi, I am merging with an Access database created from SAS. The date format exported from SAS is dd/mm/yyyy (ddmmyy10. in SAS-code). In Access is's dd-mm-yyyy. But in Word the mergefields comes out as mm/dd/yyyy. What am I doing wrong here? Thnaks. /Sune You are doing nothing wrong. Word does not interpret any formatting in the data file. Apply a date switch to the field in the Word document http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm  Signature<>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org <>>< ><<> ><<> <>>< ><<> <>>< <>><<> > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > /Sune Thank you!
