Ok lot of thnx so far, glad you are there on the other site of the world! i do now understand what you mean.. and it works now. Only problem now is that this field is not updating it's self after merging. i made the template on 02 july but on my other computer i've change the system date of my computer to 03 july. When i merge the letter on that computer, the date field only change to 03 july when i manually update the field.
