[mso] Re: Access format question

Yes. This is quite simlar to the problem described here:

        http://www.grbps.com/raq7.htm

The answer is to add a time picture swtich onto your Word MERGE filed.
Specifically, I think the picture you'll want is:

        \@ "hh:MM"

Subject: [mso] Access format question


I have a database table with information including the time of an
appointment.  I have the time formatted in the medium format so that it
appears 4:00, and not with the seconds.

When I merge this information in a Word file, however, the time converts
to the 4:00:00 format.

Any way to get it to drop the seconds reference?
