Default Can't select data source on a mapped network drive

Hi,

I'm having trouble selecting a data source file that's located on mapped
network drive at Q:\

I've put the data source file there and select it in the Word 2003 mail
merge document. When I close the document and open it again I get the
standard SQL dialog box which I click Yes to but then it says "mailhouse
letter is a mail merge document. Word cannot find it's datasource
Q:\cd_mailmerge.mer

I click the Find Data Source button and select the data source file but I
get the same dialog box again with the same error - I can click the Find
Data Source button again but just go around in circles.

If I move the data source file to a folder on the C drive it works fine but
for some reason it won't work when stored on the network Q drive.

Anyone experience this before or know a workaround etc?

Many thanks,
Andrew
