save merged doc from c# code without displaying word

Hi,

I would like to do a mailmerge from within code, then save the document
without having to display word to the user.
The merge works fine if I do display word (wrdApp.Visible = true;). If I
don't, I get the message 'Opening this document will run the following SQL
command..'

My code is as follows :

object objNull = System.Reflection.Missing.Value;
string strDataSource = @"C:\HRAccent\MailMerge\dataEmpl.csv";
object strTemplatePath = @"C:\HRAccent\MailMerge\testTemplate.doc";
object objTrue = true;
object objFalse = false;
object objOpenFormat;

objOpenFormat = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdOpenFormat.wdOpenFormatAuto;

Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application wrdApp = new
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.Application();
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word._Document wrdDoc;
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.MailMerge wrdMailMerge;

wrdDoc = wrdApp.Documents.Open(ref strTemplatePath, ref objFalse, ref
objTrue, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref
objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objFalse, ref objNull, ref objNull,
ref objNull);

wrdApp.Visible = false;
wrdDoc.Activate();

wrdDoc.MailMerge.OpenDataSource(strDataSource, ref objNull, ref objFalse,
ref objTrue, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull,
ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull,
ref objNull);

wrdMailMerge = wrdDoc.MailMerge;

wrdMailMerge.Destination =
Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdMailMergeDestination.wdSendToNewDocument;
wrdMailMerge.Execute(ref objFalse);

object wdFormat = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.WdSaveFormat.wdFormatRTF;
Object fileName = @"C:\HRAccent\MailMerge\test.doc";

wrdDoc.SaveAs( ref fileName, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref
objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref
objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull, ref objNull);

wrdDoc.Saved = true;
wrdDoc.Close(ref objTrue,ref objNull,ref objNull);

wrdApp.Quit(ref objFalse,ref objNull,ref objNull);

wrdMailMerge = null;
wrdDoc = null;
wrdApp = null;


Anyone any ideas?

Thanx,
t
