Word 2007 mail merge from Outlook opens the document as if from Word
Hi All:
I've been using mail merge from Outlook for years - not problems. Just lately though, when I select an "existing document" from Word, it the Word document opens up with the message "Opening this document will run the following SQL Command ..." - as if I was just opening a merge document straight from Word. Really annoying, and something I have not seen before. Normally when I have selected an existing document, it goes straight through the the Word document. (NB: The documents I am using have previously been linked with mail merge fields to Outlook.) Any suggestions will be VERY much appreciated thatnk you! Cheers Cathy |

A couple of possibilities:
a. maybe you recently saved your mail merge main document with the data source attached, in which case you can try: 1. open your mail merge main document again 2. get through the SQL dialog box 3. Do Mailings tab-Start Merge-Normal Word document 4. Save the document 5. try your merge again b. if that doesn't work, it may be to do with a security update which made Word ask this SQL question for a much larger class of documents than previously. As far as I know, that update was reversed fairly quickly so I'd be a bit surprised if you have the problem, unless someone else is managing your system and is applying updates long after they were issued.
