Default Loosing access to data source in Word 2003

Hello!
I try to create a mailmerge file. So I create a connection to the data
source (xls or txt). I can save the file and everything seens to be OK.
So far so good. But if I reopen the merge file, the connection is lost.
This only happens if the data source is located in a network drive. I
tried to solve the problem described here

(Method 1) but it didn't work. So are there other possibilities? Thanks.

p.s.: Sorry for my bad english.
