Create an Excel sheet with some dates in it. Create a mailmerge document in Word linked to the Excel sheet. (this is what we automate in our app BTW, works well for mailshots etc) Look at the resulting word document. ALL THE FRIGGING DATES ARE IN AMERICAN FORMAT!!! Arrrghhh! The solution is to update the merge format to force the date to dd/mm/yyyy (i.e. the same as I specified in regional settings). -- Paul [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED]@shelbynet.com ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
