I cannot see how, unless your AS400 dates are being stored as strings instead of as date values, it would be possible to get the results you're describing. As for your reference to "a document that has a delay code", I'm not sure what you mean by that. Is it a reference to a date calculation as per my my Microsoft Word Date Calculation Tutorial: https://www.msofficeforums.com/word/...-tutorial.html?

I have attached a copy of the template that I am having issues with show multiple date formatting switches.

I have also attached the data file from our host system, when I perform a manual mail merge the date field switches work correctly in all formats but when this is run automated through our system the date switches are showing in US Format.

I have had all regional settings checked and all are defaulting to English UK.

Any help with why word is switch to US format would be gratefully received.
