Default Mail Merge Word 2007 from Outlook 2007

I created a master main document in word with field from my Outlook fields so
we don't have to recreate the label main document every time. It seems
buggy, sometime the mail merge works fine, other times I get a message saying
there is already merged info, do I want to remove? So I say yes, but the
mail merge feature becomes greyed out. It also looks like multiple sessions
of Word have opened. I did start from Outlook not Word. Please help, this
seems it should be a very simple mail merge.

What happens if you say NO.

However, having set up the main document with the data source having been
attached to it, all you should need to do is open that document in Word and
execute the merge again.

See the "Mailmerge from Outlook" item on fellow MVP Graham Mayor's website

I'll try saying no and see what happens. Could this have anything to do with
our saving everything in compatibility mode or installation issues?

I tried No and I got this response
Opening this document will run the following SQL command:
SELECT * FROM C:\DOCUM~1\JCOMST~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\OMME.doc
Data from your database will be placed in the document, Do you want to
continue? If I say no, the mail merge is greyed out

I, too have had this problem for some time now, and have been using
mail merge from Outlook since OL 2000. I have posted many times, but
with no answer.Doug, thank you for the pointer to the MS article -
this FINALLY fixed the SQL prompt issue - thank you! I still have the
issue of Word opening 2 documents, but much happier now without that
pesky SQL prompt - that has been really annoying!! So thanks Doug! :-)
