Default Mail Merge Date Format Problems


Ok I'm running word 2002 and have a document with a mail merge from an
access database. The data in the field of the database is in the format
07/10/2005 and I'm using the follwoing in the word document to merge the data
- {MERGEFIELD Date \@ dd/MMM/yyyy }.

If the data in the database is 07/10/2005 I get the following 10/Jul/2005
If the data in the database is 22/10/2005 I get the following 22/Oct/2005!!!

Any comments to try would be great - the Preserve formatting during updates
box - is unticked.

Cheers

Tony
