This will be due to a security measure that was implemented in
more recent versions of Word (and Service Packs) that sever the
data connection when a document is opened using Automation. (In
the UI you get a message prompt).
See this KB article, and note the Registry key you'd have to set
in order to get your code working again.

You Open a Word Document - 825765

The only other way would be to save the main merge document
without a linked data source, and connect to the data after
opening the document.
