How to add the DWORD value SQLSecurityCheck in Word/Options registery via Regedit?

Question

My MS Access program opens a mail merge Word document to prepare a document or a mail with Access data. To avoid an error explaining that the mail merge document is not foreseen for mail merge, I needed to add via Regedit the DWORD value SQLSecurityCheck in the registery HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options  

However, with the latest version of Windows and Office, I don't see anymore this registry key. What's the "workaround" solution for this new release?

Hi Jack,

As Doug suggested above, you only need to choose either set the SQLSecurityCheck in the Registry or install the add-in on your computer. As I noticed that you didn't have a clear understanding on how to add SQLSecurityCheck in the Registry, please try to follow the steps below to set up.

1: Press Window key + R and key in " regedit" in the dialog

2: Select OK to run Registry Editor

3: Locate the following  registry key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\16.0\Word\Options

4: Right click on Option folder and create DWORD registry key

5: Rename the created key as " SQLSecurityCheck"

6:Double click on SQLSecurityCheck and set value data as 00000000, and click okay to save.

7: Restart your computer.

If the issue still exists, please also provide as the screenshot of your Office version. You can go to File > Account > Under Product Information to check it.

Notes: To protect your information, please remove any private information before you share the screenshots with us. Thank you.

Best regards,

Dihao

If what you are saying that the customer "activated" what was probably a trial version on the new PC, it might be best to remove all traces of the Office installation by downloading the fixit from the following article:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2739501

saving it to the new computer and then running it.

Then, after re-starting the computer, reinstall Office by logging into www.office.com/myaccount with the registered email address and click Install Office.

Doug,

Thank you for your right diagnostic! My customer used you instructions above. And since then, via Regedit, I see all required registries in order to add the DWord value SQLSecurityCheck.

Have a nice week-end.

Doug, I wanted to asign you aquote of 5 stars and not 4 stars ...
