Default Merging from Access database on server

I have created several Word merge documents to be used with an Access
database. The database and merge documents are located on a server that
multiple users can access. However, when other users try to use the merge
documents, they get warnings that the data source connection has been lost,
and they have to go through a series of steps to reset the database
connection. The files are all located in the same folder as the database and
have not been changed, moved, or renamed. I do not see these warning
messages and can use the files just as I created them. I would like to make
it so that they don't have to go through these extra steps every time they
open a merge document.
