[AccessD] Two more issues on my Word document automation

Hi Tina
Don't know about point 1 but point 2 shouldn't be too hard. What's the code
look like that runs the query? If you're using a querydef then that gives
you a .RecordsAffected property after executing and you can test for that
being zero. You can't do that if you're sing Docmd.Openquery. So how're you
doing it at the moment?

Is point 1 some security setting in Word perhaps?
