Hi Marco,

Lowercase ms are for minutes - uppercase Ms for months.

Try:
{Mergefield Data \@ "dd/MM/yyyy" }

Cheers

| {Mergefield Data \@ "dd/mm/yyyy" } and this result: 17/00/2006
|
| Why the months apears as zeros?
|
| I even tried to change in Regional Setting the short date to dd/mm/aa but

|
| Any ideas?
|
