Default Cannot edit Excel file with Word document open

Hi ?B?TWFydkluQm9pc2U=?=,

I didn't know about that setting; that helps! However, it
would appears that I need to recreate my Word merge file in order to get the
DDE select prompt; is that true?

No, you shouldn't need to recreate it, just link in the data source again. You
can leave all the merge fields and such :-)
