Default Data source link urgent question!

Hi guys,
I have a Word document created by one of my collegues, that when
you open it, it used to fire off and get the data and instantly populate the
fields in the document. However, my drive mapping was updated to the
location where the DB was held, and I am unsure of how to go into the Merge
document to change this path.
Now it always asks me to define the datasource and I have to go through this
process everytime.

Do I have to re-create the mailmerge to point the Doc @ the correct path?
Or is there an easier quicker way?

Thanks very much in advance for your help.

Kind regards

Mark
