Default Access Query to mailmerge US Date

when I run a query the
date still has to be entered in US format


Do you mean that
a. you are connecting to an Access parameter query, and the users are
typing a date into the box that Access pops up? or
b. they are specifying out query options in Word's Mail Merge Recipients
dialog box, or the query options dialog box? or
c. something else?

(And which version of Word/Access?)

(I'm not sure it makes any difference whether it's (a) or (b) but it would
be helpful to know for the purposes of investigation)

Mailmerge to Access brings US date format but I have got the format
showing
In UK format in Word using the field switch however when I run a query the
date still has to be entered in US format. Is there any way to change this
so
that my clients can enter the date in UK dd/MM/yyyy format
