Default how can I print a long date

I am doing a mail merge from Access. The DB has a date field that I am
merging into the letter. I want to print it as July 15, 2009 rather than
7/15/09. How can I do this

SMS,

Add the following format to the Access "Date" field:



\@ "MMMM dd, yyyy"



{Mergefield "access_date" \@ "MMMM dd, yyyy"}
