Are you sure that you have actually executed the merge to a new document?

I suggest that you select Toolbars from the View menu and then check the
mailmerge item to display the mailmerge toolbar, then use the buttons on the
Right Hand end of the toolbar to execute the mailmerge.

Hello. I've read KB 825765 so I understand when and why I get prompted
with
the "Opening this will run the following SQL command" message when you
open
a Word mail merge main document that is linked to a data source.

However, I do not understand why I get prompted for the document after the
merge has run and my new document has been created and saved. When I close
and reopen the newly created document, I still get the prompt. There is
obviously a data attachment still existing. Is there any way to break that
attachment?

I may not be understanding clearly how the merge process worked. I thought
it brought data into the new document and that's it. Is it continuously
going to the data source to get the data?

Any help/advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jennifer Dickens
