Here's an observation ....

When I accessed a "working" report (FR-WPE8.docx) from Word, the main document filtered by the SQL statement came up with the previewed results in exactly as expected.

When I proceeded to apply a new filter to the recipient list via "Edit Recipients" button, the main document populated with the appropriate new information ... but the times were back to decimal again. I saved this as a new main mailmerge document (FR-WPL18.docx).

When I close Word, and come back and re-access the original doc, FR-WPE8, the merge is performed, times are good. Access FR-WPL8, times not good.

Reboot the computer, access FR-WPL8 through Word ... everything, times included, are properly formatted!
