How to prompt for ODBC Connection in mail merge using MS query
Hello,
I have a MS Word mail merge document that runs OBDC using MS Query. The problem is I do not want to have it automatically connect to the datasource when the word document is open. I would like it to prompt for the odbc login ID and password before running the connection. Is this possible? Thanks Tom Horton |

How to prompt for ODBC Connection in mail merge using MS query
Hello,
Thanks for you input. But my problem is this: I have a mailmerge in MS word then MS Query that connects to an Oracle database.And it works fine and brings back data to MS word and populates labels. However, you have to use a userid an password in the mailmerge to connect to the Oracle database. But in 3 months the users password for Oracle will expire (have to be renewed) and the document is totally useless. Is there anyway to have MS word prompt for the ODBC or Oracle login and password? Thanks Tom |
