SYMPTOMS
========
The Confirm Data Source dialog box is not displayed when you do either of the
following in Microsoft Visual Basic for Applications for Microsoft Word:
- You set the ConfirmConversions argument to True in the OpenDataSource method.
-or-
- You use the InsertDatabase method.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior is by design of Microsoft Word. The Confirm Data Source dialog box
is not exposed (accessible) to the Word Visual Basic object model or Wordbasic.
MORE INFORMATION
================
The ConfirmConversions argument in the OpenDataSource method has no relationship
to the Select method check box in the Open Data Source dialog box.
When you record a mail merge in Word, and then run the macro, it will run without
displaying any of the dialog boxes you saw during the recording of the macro.
You cannot select a different method for opening the data source without
rewriting or re-recording the macro.
