mail merge documents moving to a new server
We are moving folders that have hundreds of documents which have mail merge with a path to the old server and in some cases old drive letters. How do I change the path to reflect the new server or drive letter in the documents that have mail merge?

mail merge documents moving to a new server
To avoid having to re-attach the data source when each document is opened, I
think that before you delete the data source from the old location, you would have to copy it to the new location so that you could then run a macro over the documents that extracted from each document the old path and filename of the data source and then replaced that with the new path and filename and saved the document. -- Hope this helps.
