mail merge dates reversed

[Philip Carr]

I have just moved on to Windows XP proffesional and
office 2002.

all seem OK when I merge to an access data base except
the dates get messed up in word

ie the date in the data base is 02/10/04 but when merged
appears as 10/02/04 I have tried altering the field
switch arrangements (in word)but have got nowhere


Any ideas appreciated
