database connection problems in Word 2003 tables

D

Dan

Using Word 2003. Program written in VB 6. Program opens Word document and
sends the Update Fields command. Has worked fine for years. Recently Word has
opened the Connect to Database dialog box. The computer has System DSN
connections to the correct DB and works fine. Why has the dialog box started
opening? Was there an update/patch to Word that forces the dialog box? can I
create a connection string in the Word Field Code that doesn't use the DSN
and connect directly? Any options in Word itself? Any way to eliminate the
dialog box?

Database is MySQL 5.0.41 Community. I have used the ODBC connector version
3.51.08 and 3.51.12 with the same results.
