when merging fields from access to word, the long date formatting shows in
the letter as a short date.

Doug,
You are truly the savior for the day. I've been pulling my hair out (not a
good thing to do considering its population) trying to get around this
formatting thing. I never would have gotten the "reverse formatting" on my
own. Seems to me that it would have been easier to leave the formatting
responsibilities with the origional program and to have Word just accept it.
.. . oh well, better minds than ours . . . .
Thanks again,
Tug

Access does not store the dates in the format that it displays them.
