Datefields from Access

[Sune Fibaek]

Hi,

I am merging with an Access database created from SAS. The date format
exported from SAS is dd/mm/yyyy (ddmmyy10. in SAS-code). In Access is's
dd-mm-yyyy. But in Word the mergefields comes out as mm/dd/yyyy.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thnaks.

You are doing nothing wrong. Word does not interpret any formatting in the
data file. Apply a date switch to the field in the Word document
