I have a couple issues with a mail merge that I need to get resolved. I have
a Access 2007 database that uses shared-level password. I have created a
dialog form that allows the user to enter a application number and select the
letter they wish to print from a drip down box. The problem is that when the
word document opens I get "Error has occured: Not a valid password" then the
Data Link Properties box opens and the box is checked to "Use a Blank
Password". If I uncheck the box and enter the database password I get another
box that asks me for the password again. Is there something that I can set so
that the "Use a Blank Password" box is no longer checked in the first dialog
box? The code I am using to perform the mail merge is below. In case you are
wondering it works fine if I remove the password from the database but that
is not an option because the database resides on a shared network location.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. :-)
