Word 2003. I never see the "Confirm Data Source" dialog box. Just the 'Select
Data souce' box.

Which version of Word in this case? Are you selecting a specific option in a

I have been able to create a merge document and save the data source using
paths such as T:\Data\s1prod\word_us or U:\, with the template document and
the data source (a .dat file) in the same folder. Although asked to confirm
the data sources's location, when I click on 'Yes' the document opens using
the relevant data source.
However, when I use a path like
\\Studep1.isd.ad.flinders.edu.au\t1\S1\Data\s1acce pt43\word_us I still get
asked to confirm the data source when opening the template but it doesn't
recognise this path and asks me to select a new data source. I can
re-select the same data source and generate a document but when I save the
template and re-open it, the same process occurs. It looks like Word
doesn't like either the long path or not using a Drive letter.
Any ideas?
