Error Message following SQL command? TomP 11/6/2008 3:58:01 PM I have mail merge documents created in Office 2002 XP. The database files are all in MS Word and all are located on the network for everyone to use. Ever since we got Office 2003 a new message appears when you open your document....... "Opening this document will run the following SQL command: SELECT * FROM C:\Documents and Settings\username\file name Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you want to continue?" I have to select "yes" 2 times to bypass this message and work on the document. There is nothing wrong with the mail merge. Only thing that is annoying is you have to click "yes" twice to continue. Is there a way to remove the warning messages? Thank you, Tom
