I wasn't suggesting using Find & Replace. The purpose for pointing you to
that article was for the way in which it deals with opening each of the
files in a folder, then performing an operation on the file before saving
and closing it. You would need to replace the code in the article that does
the Find & Replace with the appropriate code for attaching the new
datasource to each file.

Thanks for your reply Doug. I've been reading that article which looks
promising, however as I understand it the Find&Replace dialog lets you
replace text in the document. I can't see how to use the Find&Replace to
replace the stored location of the data source - the only way I know how
to change this is to either use the Mail Merge Wizard at step 3 or click
"Open Data Source" on the Mail Merge toolbar.
If there's another way to set this I'd love to know.
Many thanks,
Andrew

Using a modification of the code in the article "Find & ReplaceAll on a
batch of documents in the same folder" at:
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/BatchFR.htm
you could attach the new data source to each of the mail merge main
letters.

Does anyone know of a way to dynamically set the path to the data source
for a Word 2003 mail merge letter? For example if you had 50 letters all
pointing to a data source at:
C:\datasource.csv
is there an easy way to change it to find the datasource at:
D:\datasource.csv
without having to change it for each of the 50 letters?
Thanks,
Andrew
