If you don't make the registry change, you merely have to acknowledge the
prompt.
There's a macro at
http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm which will
toggle the prompt on/off, but as it writes to the registry, I don't suppose
your company IT Nazis will approve of that either? Software does however
write to the registry all the time.
Agreed, the forums are poor, but they are the future ... unless everyone
come back here

I'm not in a position to modify registry on company computers but thanks
So the short answer is that Access cannot be used to open an MS Word Mail
merge
P.S. Social Answers forums can not replace the current newsgroups
currently - just took a peek and the existing forums barely scratch the
surface of office apps (Access is hardly mentioned)
Maybe in next 5 years

See the following Knowledge Base article:
"Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You Open a
Word Document - 825765 at:
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=825765
Note these newsgroups are no longer hosted by Microsoft and are now
orphans
in the wilderness.
As a replacement for the newsgroups, Microsoft has created forums that
can
be accessed at:

I know this must be asked 1000 times per day - so hopefully there is a
solution
Can I stop word telling me what it's told me a million times before?
namely "Opening this document with run the following SQL command"
It's causing havoc - I am trying to open a document from an Access Form
I can not answer the prompt because it is popping up underneath the
modal form - the form will not budge because it's waiting for the prompt
to be answered
Only solution is CTRL+ALT+DEL
