If by Item 1 you mean:
"Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You Open a
Word Document , see::
http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=825765
As getting that message would indicate that the merge main document already
has a data source attached to it, you could save it as a template and then
have an autonew macro in the template that contains the following code:
With Active Document.MailMerge
.Destination = wdSendToNewDocument
.Execute
End With

Hope this helps.

I need to do two things with my merging ...
1) How can I disable the message that comes up before the merge
prompting the user to accept the criteria for recipient selection?
2) In an effort to automate, and not have to depend on the user knowing
which button to press, how can I have my merge go automatically to a
document?
