Default SQL Error on Word 2002 Startup

I had this same problem. In my case, it was caused (apparently) by the
TaskPaneController add-in, which I removed without ill effect, as it's no
longer needed in Word 2003. If you have that add-in for Word 2002, you may
still be able to remove it without problems (I'm told it's already modified
the required Registry entry, and after it's done that, it can be dispensed
with.

If you don't have that particular add-in, the problem may be caused by some
other add-in; apparently the latest update resulted in some change that
conflicts with add-ins that load at startup.

If you can't identify the troublesome add-in, or if it's not practical to
remove the add-in, you can suppress the message altogether with a Registry
edit (see "Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You
Open a Word Document at http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=825765), but if
you prefer not to make this change (which MS does not recommend), you'll
probably just have to suck it up and live with the message until next month
when perhaps MS will push a hotfix for it.

...
Whenever I start up word (in fact only since the latest updates) I receive
the following error:
"Opening this document will runn the following SQL command:"
Then there is a blank line, then...
"Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you wish to
proceed? Yes/No"
Regardless of whether I click yes or no, everything loads and words well.

Any clues as to why this is happend and how I can fix it??
