Word cannot connect to a data source that is located at an Internet URL such
as http:something or ftp:something. The data source has to be a file in the
"Windows file system", either on a local disk or accessible using a UNC file
name, or it has to be accessible using an ODBC driver or OLEDB provider
(OLEDB only works in Word 2002/2003), and in that case the correct
driver/provider must be present on your local machine, and (In the case of
OLEDB anyway, there has to be a .odc or .udl file in the Windows file
system as well)

What that means is that if you want to store data on a web site, you
probably need to consider storing it in a database you can access via ODBC
or OLEDB.

If that is not the problem you are having, please try to explain the problem
again.
