No, I'm sorry, Rebecca, you cannot. You can, however, use this workaround:

When I click 'open data source' when creating a mail merge file, and the
'select data source' screen opens, it defaults to looking in My Data
Sources.
I never use this folder; all my data sources are in a specific network
folder. I would like the default data source location to be this folder,
so
I don't have to constantly navigate to it. How do I change this? I am
using
Word 2002.
Thanks,
Rebecca
