Default Have to keep reconnecting merge documents

It will ultimately be used on many machines (different paths) - shocked and
stunned I seem to be the only person, ever to develop merges for many
machines

Used code in the end

but even that seems academic now since it's been discussed/concluded that
Access form can't open Word Mail merge because of MS Word persistent pop up
message

So copy it to the HD temporarily. Set up a location where it will always
be found, and then copy the latest version there before attempting the
merge.

It's under development so I cant bolt it to any one computer at the mo -
it's no more than an absolute addressing cockup - hoping for work around

I know nothing about Merge specifically, but doing it from a removable
drive is begging for trouble.

Copy whatever is on the flash drive to the hard drive you're using,
and it might work better.

Who ever developed the absolute addressing instead of relative

should be shot

Any clues how to work around this?
