I trying to do automation in VB2005 and when I open the word document the
default is to drop the data source. I need to be able to change the default
or work around it so I don't lose my datasource.

have you read the KB article on this topic?

"Opening This Will Run the Following SQL Command" Message When You Open a Word

I'm not famliar with a software named "VB2005". What are you really using?
VB.NET 2005? VSTO 2005? Is this going to be in-house, or a distributed
application?

Cindy,

Thank you for your response. I did find the KB article a few hours after I
posted my question. This was my first post so I apologize for the sloppy
grammer and incomplete information. I'm using VB.NET 2005 for an in house
project. The KB article contained the exact information I was looking for.

Thank you again.
Tony
