Default Merge field is not displaying properly

I am puzzled, i have a merge field (excel 2003) that is drawing in from a
formula that gives me the name of a day relative to a date (ie; 16 April 2008
= Wednesday)
however the merge ifeld result just gives me a date "1/4/1900". I have
tried to add a switch \@"dddd" or \@"DDDD", but neither have worked.

I even deleted the formula and typed in the Day manually in the excel file,
however the merge filed resul is the same "1/4/1900". Help! Please
