Thanks Peter that has sorted it. In fairness it seemed obvious when you
pointed it out but I'd got to the point of not being able to see the wood
for the trees

My best guess based on your picture is that you have
rd ;st;nd
i.e. with a space after "rd"
when you need
rd;st;nd

(It should be possible to copy/paste the entire field nested field code
from macropod's document to yours, then change the name of the date field
as necessary).

I have attached the field code i'm using to deal with the Ordinal which
is
merging a Merge Field called Date _Received. Everything works ok when it
pulls a date which has an Ordinal of "th" eg 25th, 26th etc. However if
it
pulls a date using "rd" "st" or "nd" then I get a syntax error.

The code looks ok to me (but obviously isnt)
