Default Is it possible to open MS Word merge from Access form????

Approached this subject before but I'm getting desperate for solution

I am trying to open Word merge by clicking on Access form - which
leads to circular error

MS Word issues warning "Opening this document with run the following
SQL command", the warning pops up under the access modal form - the
form wont budge until the merge has ended, i cant click the warning
because it's underneath the form

I can't hack company registry to get rid of the warning

Any ideas how you might call mail merge from an Access form?

I've even considered creating the letter as Access report instead but
3rd party users wont be able to edit it and it's obvious not as neat
as Word letter


It requires a bit of work but I've almost always used an Access report
rather than a mail merge. Even without a RTF control it can look pretty
good.
