Default Mail Merge and dates

Hi J

I am trying to change the date on a mailmerged letter from 03 May 2006 to 3
May 2006. When I use Print Preview the date changes back to 03 May 2006. How
do I prevent this?


You obviously have a DATE field there, and the field updates (i.e.) on
printing/switching to PrintPreview. With the cursor in the field, hit
CTRL-SHIFT-F9 (this breaks the field, turns it into its own result) and
correct the date as needed.

Greetings
