Default I am trying to format the date returned by a custom date property

I create a custom property under the DOCpropert called Revision Date.

I set it as a DATE field

When it gets put in to the Document, how do I alter the format for the date
displayed.

I cannot the addition \@ switch to do it

Insert it using the Format() function. Check it out in the Visual Basic
Help file.

Hi ?B?U2ltb24gQg==?=,

Your question is unclear. What can you not use the \@ switch? It certainly
works...
