When I mailmerge to a word document, the date format changes from dd/mm/yyyy
to mm/dd/yyyy can this be prevented? Ihave tried various date combinations
in the Access Db Design. It makes no difference. Any suggestions please?

See the "Dates: day/month reversed" item under the "Connection methods"
topic of the "Mail merge in Word 2002" section of fellow MVP Cindy
