With objWord
'Make the application visible.
..Visible = True

'Open the document.
..Documents.Open (verse)

'Move to each bookmark and insert text from the form.
..ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("First").Select
..Selection.Text = (CStr(Forms!Frontpage2!DFirst))
..ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Last").Select
..Selection.Text = (CStr(Forms!Frontpage2!DLast))
..ActiveDocument.Bookmarks("Middle").Select
..Selection.Text = (CStr(Forms!Frontpage2!DMiddle))

Try to format your date to Long Date Like:
..Selection.Text = (Format(Forms!Frontpage2!Birthdate),"Long Date")

Thanks Penguin!
I finally got it to work with the following code:
..Selection.Text = (Format(Forms!Frontpage2!DeathDate, "mmmm dd, yyyy"))
Couldn't have done it without your help. Thanks again, Jake
