If you make the change to the registry as detailed in that article, the
datasource should be remembered.

Thanks, but I don't want to prevent it from appearing.
I want it to remember the database.
They are not mutually exclusive.
Thanks anyway.

I cannot eliminate that warning.
The MS KB article said that by selecting yes it would go to the
associated
database.
It does not.
I just need it to do what it's supposed to do, preserving the security
warning.

news
XP Professional SP2, Word 2003 SP2:
I have a mail merge document created in Word 2003 that calls fields
from
an
Access 2003 database.
Each time the document is opened, I have to reconnect the database
to
the
document. Nobody else uses either file but me.
Both the database and the merge document are in the same
directory/folder.
I get the SQL warning, which is okay (and I saw the KB article on
how
to
disable that). But, when pressing "Yes" to allow the connection,
I'm
then
presented with a dialog box where I have to browse to my database
each
time
to establish a connection.
Could you please point me in the direction of where to find a
solution
for
permanently connecting the source data to the merge document? Thank
you.
