How to show CURRENT_DATE in an MS Word template <<>

ddumas

<<CURRENT_DATE>> shows nothing in the generated document.

Can functions not be used within tags?

CURRENT_DATE should work. You must have made a mistake somewhere

The rest of the report shows all data correctly. <<CURRENT_DATE>> is the 2nd piece of data in the report, on the same line as another object attribute. Just gets generated as blank

I am running 64 bit. I will try 32bit to see if I get the same results.

Can you send us a BSV to test?

You also have the option of using a Word date field in the document template. This is very easy to do and would have the same result unless you are trying to concatenate strings or something.

I will - sorry just read this- I have been swamped. I am going to test with 32bit first, and it not working, will send the BSV.

Even better - that makes sense. Thanks.
