date toggle not toggling

[NetworkTrade]

have looked at the many date format questions and linked to helping web
sites...seems straight forward...yet...

{MergeField "QuoteDate"/@ "mmmm d, yyyy"}

is resulting in 3/24/08
.....


{MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "mmmm d, yyyy"}

is resulting in 0000 24. 2008

am syntax confused..... why would I be seeing 0000 ??

NetworkTrade,
Try using for March 24, 2008
{MergeField "QuoteDate" \@ "MMMM d, yyyy"}.

1. The /@ "mmmm d, yyyy" switch in first example, may not be recognized as a
date switch, so the data in the mergefield is be shown in the default
format, based on your regional settings.
2. The lower-case" m" is formatting the data as minutes. So "mmmm", will
show the month date as minutes, not month, with leading zeros to your data
