 Microsoft UpdateScan your computer for Windows and Office updates that you need Word 2000 Update: Mail Merge SecurityBrief DescriptionThe Word 2000 Mail Merge Security Update protects you from a vulnerability in the mail merge function in Word by increasing the security in the connection between Word mail merge documents and Access databases. On This PageQuick Details
OverviewThe Word 2000 Mail Merge Security Update protects you from a vulnerability in the mail merge function in Word with Access databases as a data source. Because the mail merge function in Word can allow an Access database to run macro code automatically - with no macro protection warnings turned on - malicious users could entice you to open a specially constructed mail merge Word document (from an e-mail attachment or a link on a hostile Web site) that might cause arbitrary code to run on your machine.
This update protects you against the vulnerability by increasing the security in the connection between Word mail merge documents and Access databases. If the Access database is located on the Internet or in a Restricted sites zone, then the mail merge document will prompt you for a new data source before executing the macro. Note To use the Word 2000 Mail Merge Security Update, you must have installed Office 2000 Service Release 1a (SR-1a). More information about this update can be found in the Microsoft Security Bulletin MS00-071: Frequently Asked Questions.
