[AccessD] Open Word Document

It will if there are fields in the doc.

I just opened a Word doc, no fields, but created with a different
default printer (I had this file e-mailed to me from someone else) and
opened and closed it. No save prompt.

I don't think that the default printer makes a difference. I'd bet
dollars to donuts that the fields are causing the problem.

Virginia,

if your users all have the same default printer I don't think this
would
happen!
