Could there be a quotation mark or something missing in what you sent?
when i put in the info it just printed the codes as text.

Hi Rick,
To create such a field:
.. select the place in your mailmerge template where you want the date to
appear;
.. press Ctrl-F9 to create a pair of field braces (ie '{ }')
.. fill in between the braces with 'DATE \@ "DD 'day of' MMMM YYYY"' so
that you get '{DATE \@ "DD 'day of' MMMM YYYY"}'
You may find that using 'CREATEDATE' in the field will suit your needs
better that 'DATE'.
Cheers
