Hi Mark,
You can solve this by adding a date switch to your MERGEFIELD. If you select the field and press Shift-F9, you'll see something like: {MERGEFIELD AccessDate} If you add: \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy" to this so that you have: {MERGEFIELD AccessDate \@ "dddd, d MMMM yyyy"} and press F9, your dates will output like 'Monday, 1 January 2001'. Other date switch formats you might like to experiment with include: \@ "d MMMM yyyy" \@ "d-MMM-yyyy" \@ "dd/MM/yyyy" \@ "d/MM/yy" and so on. Cheers "mark P" mark wrote in message ...
