date toggle not toggling
have looked at the many date format questions and linked to helping web
sites...seems straight forward...yet... {MergeField "QuoteDate"/@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 3/24/08 ..... {MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 0000 24. 2008 am syntax confused..... why would I be seeing 0000 ?? -- NTC |

NetworkTrade,
Try using for March 24, 2008 {MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "MMMM d, yyyy"}. 1. The /@ "mmmm d, yyyy" switch in first example, may not be recognized as a date switch, so the data in the mergefield is be shown in the default format, based on your regional settings. 2. The lower-case" m" is formatting the data as minutes. So "mmmm", will show the month date as minutes, not month, with leading zeros to your data -- Add MS to your News Reader: news://msnews.microsoft.com Rich/rerat (RRR News) message rule Previous Text Snipped to Save Bandwidth When Appropriate "NetworkTrade" wrote in message news have looked at the many date format questions and linked to helping web sites...seems straight forward...yet... {MergeField "QuoteDate"/@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 3/24/08 ..... {MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "mmmm d, yyyy"} is resulting in 0000 24. 2008 am syntax confused..... why would I be seeing 0000 ?? -- NTC |
