The default location for the Data Source in Word 2003 is in the My Documents
\ My Data Sources. How can I change the default loction of the Data Sources
to other path without promping me to key in the path location ? Thanks ....

You can only change the data source folder to a sub folder of your My
Documents folder. It is not possible to change it to any other folder. The
data is held in the registry at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\C ommon\DataServices
The best workarounds are to use the Places toolbar
http://www.gmayor.com/customize_the_word_places_bar.htm or to put a shortcut
to your data folder in the Data Sources folder.
