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 "Doug Robbins" wrote: See "Formatting Word fields with switches" on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website at: http://www.gmayor.com/formatting_word_fields.htm -- Hope this helps.

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