I know this must be asked 1000 times per day - so hopefully there is a
solution

Can I stop word telling me what it's told me a million times before? namely
"Opening this document with run the following SQL command"

It's causing havoc - I am trying to open a document from an Access Form

I can not answer the prompt because it is popping up underneath the modal
form - the form will not budge because it's waiting for the prompt to be
answered

Only solution is CTRL+ALT+DEL

I'm not in a position to modify registry on company computers but thanks

So the short answer is that Access cannot be used to open an MS Word Mail
merge

P.S. Social Answers forums can not replace the current newsgroups
currently - just took a peek and the existing forums barely scratch the
surface of office apps (Access is hardly mentioned)

Maybe in next 5 years

If you don't make the registry change, you merely have to acknowledge the
prompt.

There's a macro at http://www.gmayor.com/word_vba_examples.htm which will
toggle the prompt on/off, but as it writes to the registry, I don't suppose
your company IT Nazis will approve of that either? Software does however
write to the registry all the time.

Agreed, the forums are poor, but they are the future ... unless everyone
come back here

I hope the forums are not the future, but fear I will be wrong.
On reading Doug Robbins recommendation, I followed the link.
I don't think he model does not give me what I have traditionally had
with newsgroups and I don't like what I do get. e.g.
1) one line per thread subject.
2) threading so I can tell the relationship between posts.
This thread is not a good example, as it consists of 4 messages:
a) Chris K posted the first message;
b) Doub Robbins replied to message a)
c) Chris K replied to message b)
d) Graham replied to message c).
3) I normally open a window in which threads containing new messages
appear first and others in which I retain an interest are then shown.
I can mark all messages as read, mark messages as interesting, and/or to
be retained. I can zap old messages when I choose.
4) I can batch download messages for future attention. I don't need an
Internet connection except when sending messages or grabbing them.
5) Cross-posting is supported. Used well, it can be helpful.
5) I can use Google groups to search a vast history of messages.
6) Group, and message creation is largely anarchic.

There are probably virtues in the forums. All I can see to date is
1) They are promoted by Microsoft.
2) Their Traffic is likely to be heavier than in traditional newsgroups
now that they exist.
3) Less spam - I assume this is true.

If you use the Community Bridge to access the newsgroups via an NNTP
newsreader, the experience is much the same as that to which you are
accustomed.

Much lighter, at least so far. MS is not prominently publicizing these groups,
and they seem to be harder to find than the newsgroups.

3) Less spam - I assume this is true.

That at least appears to be the case - there are moderators who do remove
blatant spam promptly. The registration requirement (even if it's just the
need to use a msn email account) probably does the most to keep spam down.

as mentioned, the prompt appears underneath the calling form, the form wont
budge (and Word wont open) until the prompt is answered - chicken + egg =
CTRL ALT Del

There will always be those of us who prefer to use a newsreader and
access info via Usenet.

Hope all are well.

Glad to see you back here -- do you have any idea why the macro you
(I'm pretty sure) provided for transposing two letters works _nearly_
immediately on Word2007 on Vista, but very very slowly on Word2007 on
Windows 7, on the laptop whose CPU is otherwise rather faster than the
CPU in the old IBM ThinkCentre desktop?

[followup set]

[Graham Mayor]

I have not been away With such low traffic, there have been few
opportunities to comment.
I don't remember the particular macro, but I don't use Windows 7 so cannot
check it out. If you post the code, someone else may be able to check it.
