I am trying to change a MSWord 2013 mail merge document so that it points to a MS SQL DB rather then the original MS Access DB which just linked to the SQL DB tables. Basically I want to remove Access from the equation and query the MS SQL DB directly (via ODBC).
I am having trouble editing the original document. When I open the doc it runs the query immediately. How do I change this?
