I have a numeric field in Access (ex: 12.345,00)
When Word merges this field from Acess, I got: 12345,00

I would like the some format in Word. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

The display of a particular format in Access occurs either because the default format is set that way or because you have a format string defined in the property sheet for that object.

The default numeric format comes from the Windows default. The Windows defaults is defined in the Settings >> Control Panel >> Regional Settings >> Number dialog page.

The way to force a particular format would be to export the number as a string that was already formatted using the Format$ function. Look up the Format function, then follow the See Also link to find out about User-Defined Numeric formats.
