Default Time format problem

MERGEFIELDHi, I use a MS Word 2003 and Access 2003 on a Windows XP machine. I
fill data into the Access DB and then open a word doc mail merged to the DB.
I had it working fine for 2007 but I just created the 2008 version by copying
the two files and changing the data set.
All the data is populated into the word doc perfectly except for the time.
It shows the time as 1899-12-30 19:00:00 instead of 19:00.
I am using the mergefield code {MERGEFIELD "End Time"\@"h:mm"} and I've
tried various other variations but it still shows the same.
Is there a work around for this problem? I seem to remember some sort of
patch was required a while back for something like this.
Any help greatly appreciated.

Regards,

DH
