I use the Word mail merge program for reports I do at work. I save them as
word documents but when I e-mail them, the recipient can not open them. Do I
have to save them as a different type of document? Sometimes the recipient
gets the pop up that says

MICROSOFT OFFICE WORD

opening this document will run the following SQL command:

SELECT * FROM 'Office Address List'

Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do you want to
continue?

YES NO

Thank you!

You are sending the mailmerge main document, not a document created by
executing the merge. You should execute the merge to a new document and
then send that.

Hope this helps.

You receive the "Opening this will run the following SQL command" message
when you open a Word mail merge main document that is linked to a data
source - http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=825765
