Default Is there a Special method to inserting fields?

Hi Jethro,

Is this an actual date & time in Excel, or just a string? If it's an actual date & time, what *year* is in the Excel data?

Cheers

Sort of - it works but still bugging out:

XL Source = Sat 20 Oct 11:00 AM

{ MERGEFIELD CSCS_Test_DateTime \@ "ddd dd MMM hh:mm am/pm" } = Thu 20 Oct 12:00 AM ?????????

{ MERGEFIELD CSCS_Test_DateTime } = Sat 20 Oct 11:00 AM

It looks like the date/time format is failing - sent out all my appointments wrong today - but it's fine now without the
formatting?

The source is e.g.

Thu 18 Oct 06:00 PM

{Mergefield "CSCS_Test_DateTime" } (after DDE connection) is same:

Thu 18 Oct 06:00 PM


What does the field produce with the default connection - ie what is the underlying data in the source?
