Cannot Find Its Data Source
We are having trouble with the Mail Merge in WordXP which are on the verge of
rolling out to all of our staff. Once a document has been created and saved with a mail merge that has been linked to a data source the document will re-open correctly provided NO FILTER has been placed on the data source. If the document is saved with a filter in place when you re open the document a message of the form: abc.doc is a mail merge main document. Word cannot find its data source, \\aserver\datadir\abc1.xls (Note this also happens using Access Databases as the data source so is not an exclusive excel/word issue) You then have the option to locate the data source or effectively remove all the header info and so remove all the mail merge functions. So effectively you have to relocate the data source each time you open the mail merge document. Any ides how to correct this? |
