Need Help - 26 May 2004 17:15 GMT

Whenever I open up a docment with merge fields created in Office 2000 with
our new roll out of Office 2003, we recieve this message:

"Opening this document will run the following SQL command" {then gives the
SQL command} "Data from your database will be placed in the document. Do
you want to continue?"

If we click yes, only the first record appears in the document and we are
unable to go to any other. There should be hundreds. It just place the
first record in the document (just like it said).

If we click no, we lose connection to the data source and just the fields
appear.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
