Mail merge: reopening saved document prompts for SQL commandt
I just wondered if I did something wrong.
I don't think so. A flaw in Office 2007, perhaps? Word 2007 copies some types of data source to a local folder. It's part of some security change. Unfortunately it is very difficult to tell in what circumstance Word will do this, but I think it is in essence when Word thinks it is opening a "field type" data source and it thinks it is on the Internet. So Word then has to deal with the fact that you specify one file name and it ends up dealing with another. FWIW I take the view that things that do not work for inexplicable reasons are actually less secure than things that work the way you asked them to, but there you go.

Adding the registry key will solve the symptoms; I just wondered if I did something wrong. This morning I did a manual mail merge, saved the main document after the merge and the exact same prompt for SQL statement twice when reopening! A flaw in Office 2007, perhaps? I can live with the registry fix as I can apply it from my program before doing the mail merge. |
