I have been working with customers helping them set up merge documents in
Word. Once data has been attached to a document, whenever they open a
document, the message window "Opening this document will run the following
SQL command" appears. But it is not consistent. Some people never get it,
some always, and now I have one customer who did not get it before, and now
does, and doesn't want to.
How, why, when? Is there a setting that controls this that can be set or
reset?

This appears to be a common issue. I have it too but only with data I
download from one source and my data doesn't stay "attached" to my merge
document. I searched these postings to see if I could find any answers. I
think this is what you're looking for...

This is a known issue in Word 2003
