Hello,
I have posted something similar to this elsewhere, but this is really bugging me. I have a mailmerge document that uses ODBC and MS query to connect to oracle and complete a merge. But when you reopen the mailmerge document, it never prompts you for a connection login in and password. Is there anyway to simply make MS word (before excuting the query) prompt for the connection login and password. (It seems to me, that this would be something that most people or users would want, to have a secure data connection prompted before running it) Here is exactly what I do to create the mailmerge: -ToolsLetters and MailingMail Merge Wizard -Then select labels then select label options -Then I select recipients and choose Browse then I select Tools MS QUERY -Then I select an ODBC connection (system DNS) -Then a dialogue box appears 'MS ODBC connection for Oracle' then I enter user name password and server. -Then I enter my query and at this point I am MS query and have the data returned to MS word. -I finish the mail merge and save the document. But now when anyone runs the document, they are not prompted for login and password. Is there anyway possible to have the login and password prompted when they open this merge document? |
