I use a word document merged with my access database for
printing invoices. When I open the word document it
automatically opens the access database via a DDE. I
recently installed the Office service pack 3 and now when
I open my word document a window pops up asking if I want
to allow the following SQL command. Clicking yes opens
both the database and the document, clicking no opens
only the document. I would like to bypass this step and
have the database and the word document open without the
additional step. This is a new step since installation
of the service pack. Does anyone know how to make this
happen?

From other responses:

The instructions are for Word 2003 and I use Word 2002.
One difference in the instructions is that my registry key
shows 10.0 instead of 11.0 under
software\Microsoft\Office. I continued following the
instructions and although the appearance of the Registry
Editor is a little different between 2002 & 2003, it was
similar enough for me to make good guesses on which steps
to take next. I no longer get the SQL warning message
when working with my forms. Thank you!
