I am having a problem with Microsoft Access 2002 mail merging to Word 2002. I am storing a date field in my database in the format "dd MMMM yyyy". When I type in a my date 10/06/05 it displays correctly as 10 June 2005, the problem is when I use that field in my Word mail merge as { MERGEFIELD "strTest_Date" \@ "dd MMMM yyyy" } the date swaps around and displays in the Word doc as 6 October 2005. Any ideas why? I am totally stumped!

Many thanks!

Is it because Access a particular format but word is using the format specified by windows under regional and language options?
