[AccessD] date format

Thanks for the help Marty,

but something strange is going on.
This morning i mailmerged eight times data from access into word.
Three times the dataformat for one field (DDatum) was different as the other 
five. These three were actualy good, because i changed the format for the 
wrong outcome, so that i received the right date. So now i even can't adjust 
the format wrong or good, because it is changing during the different 
mailmerge's.

Could it have something to do with citrix. We use 15 different servers for 
access? I thought that the regional control panel settings were the default 
settings?
