Yes, I had read this article previously but it is not exactly clear. So, even
though I answer YES to the SQL prompt the merge document will not connect to
its data source? In order to allow the doc to connect I need to edit the
registry as per the article regardless of the macro security level setting?

Hi ?B?RGFu?=,

I am using VBA in an Access 2003 database to open a Word 2003 mail merge
document that is attached to the database. Even with the Word macro security
settings set to low the mail merge document is not connecting to the data
source.
