Default Format date from MM/dd/yyyy to MM/dd

The field in my Access database is Birth.

The data in the field appears as ex. 10/2/1964 but when printed on a report
it should appear as 10/2.

I've tried the following:
{Mergefield Birth \@ "MM/dd"}
{Mergefield "Birth" \@ "MM/dd"}
{Mergefield Birth \* "MM/dd"}
{Mergefield "Birth" \* "MM/dd"}

but the data returned is 10/2/1964.

Any help?

I need to have this resolved by THU close of business.

Thanks in advance.
