"the file created has appended to the bottom of the all records of the database." I don't understand the problem, can you re-phrase this with all the steps you used to arrive at a situation where you think there "is a security issue." Tools -> MailMerge -> Use the current document -> Next E-mail message -> Next Select Address List (Select the Address database and table that you want Filter if you want to by click on filter) -> Next (Create a salutation if you want to) -> Next (Preview and edit the document if you want to) -> Next (Personalize the mail merge) -> Edit individual document -> Scroll down the document and records in the database are in the document in table form ready to be sent along with the document (Note: this could be a result of filtering since before I make myself look silly I need to check if things look OK so I'm sending a mailmerge email to myself). -> Next POTENTIAL SECURITY ISSUE If the personalized data of other people are accidentally sent via email that data could potentially be sensitive or confidential. In such a case, it could disastrous if that data got out don't you think. Getting the entire contents of the database dumped at the end of the file sent out to everyone included in the mail merge would definitely be a bug, but this doesn't happen for me though when I try it from scratch Try filtering out 1 email address from the list. |
