mail merge data source saved on sharepoint
I am using Excel 2003, Word 2003, and Sharepoint Portal Server 2003. My
excel worksheet is saved on the sharepoint portal server. My word document is in the save folder on the sharepoint portal server. When I try to link from the word document to the excel spreadsheet to facilitate my mail merge application, I cannot find the spreadsheet in the directories that are displayed. |

I don't have SharePoint set up here right now, but AFAIK the basic problem
is that Word will not let you use an Internet URL to access a file data source. I believe that with SharePoint you are essentially using URLs to access files, so unfortunately although Sharepoint is fine for storing Word documents it's useless for storing their data sources. If you are able to access the same file via Windows networking you may be able to proceed from there, but I doubt that's how many people have their SharePoint systems set up.
