Stop warning message for SQL database insert during mail merge

[ldsowers]

Since updading to MS Word 2003, we receive a message each time we begin a
mail merge which was created in the earlier version of word. The data source
being used for these merges is a SQL database. The message is not an error,
it is just a prompt to make sure we want to insert the data into the file.
It's more annoying than anything else. Does anyone now how to surpress this
message?

Text of the message: Opening this document will run the following command:
SELECT * FROM ____.dat Data from your database will be placed into this
document. Do you want to continue? YES or NO

Thank you for your help.

Hello All:
I'd like to take this to a different level if I may.
I have an application that submits the commands from an AS/400 to the PC
to open word and merge, print, and exit the document. This works great.
Then the Word XP SP update that generates the SQL warning.
The "fix" was done to the PC to suppress the message, and all was fine as
long
as Word is running under the current signed on user. The problem occurs when
the Word document runs under a user that is different that the current
signed on user.
I have updated the registries of all the user id's to apply the same "fix"
as the other user
by signing on as those users and updating the registry. This does not work.
Any ideas out there?

Thanks,
Frank
