Default Data Source Problem

I've got an Access 2K DB on my server and it merges to many (40+) word 2K
documents. The problem is half my users have the selected server mapped as
L: the other half have it as K:.

I've set up the database merges on my system, using the mapped L: drive.
All users with their computers mapped to L: can merge the documents with no
problems. Users with the drive mapped to K: open the merge documents but the
documents cannot find the source data.

I'm assuming this is because of the mapping.

Is there any way to get all users to merge the documents with out mapping
all drives to L:?

Can word be programmed to look for the UNC path and not the mapped path?

Thanks in advance,

Matt
