Server Change Affecting Mail Merge Macros
We have relocated all files/directories/documents from one server loction to
another location on the same server and as a consequence all documents that merged to a source are now displaying error messages since the source server has changed. Is there a fix (such as a global fix) to preclude the need to link each document to the new server location name? |

Hi ?B?VmljdG9yIExhemxv?=,
We have relocated all files/directories/documents from one server loction to another location on the same server and as a consequence all documents that merged to a source are now displaying error messages since the source server has changed. Is there a fix (such as a global fix) to preclude the need to link each document to the new server location name? Not really. Depending on whether this is Word 2003 you could possibly use VBA code, together with the new security option, to open the documents programmatically, dropping the data source link. But then they'd have to be linked back to the data source, somehow. And if all the documents don't link to the same data source, this probably wouldn't save a lot of time... Fastest would be to reinstate a server with the same name and path structure, use VBA code to open the documents in turn and connect them to the new server path (since the connection information would still be present, unlike the first proposal).
