Thanks Beth.
Now I am getting 11,15, 2007. My format in excel is November 15, 2007, do I
need to change this? Even if I select, prefer format under edit funtions,
then I get a totally different date format?

Try using a capital "M" for the month instead of a lowercase "m". In Word a
lowercase m is for minutes. So what you need is: "MM, dd, yyyy".

I am having trouble with my date format in my mail merge.
I am using the date switch \@"mm,dd,yyy" but am still getting a #format.
It used to work before we changed to SP3 from SP2 in Office 2002.
HELP!
