Default OpenDataSource each time document is opened

I have Word Mail Merge documents that are shared by 250 users, but they each
have their own data source. In my software they select a client, select a
letter, and then press a button to launch Word Mail Merge and the code
performs the merge to new document. It use to be that the datasource was
always at c:\rt_lettr.dbf - but that is no longer an option. So the data
source has moved on existing documents, and the datasource path must now
include the user name. So I want each time that the document is opened to
point to the current datasource to use.

FYI - This is an attempt at a work around on a problem stated in a previous
post about not having the ability to use the Open Data Sources.
