When trying to reuse an existing mail merge document in
Word 2003 SP1, I'm getting a Microsoft Office Word box
stating: Opening this document will run the following SQL
command:
Select * from 'XXX'
Data from your database will be placed in the document.
Do you want to continue?

NOTE: XXX is the name of the previous .txt file used for
the previous mail merge.

If you select Yes, it proceeds. In Word 2000 SP3 you did
not get this dialog box.

Does anybody know of a way to avoid getting this box?
