Default Problem connecting to data source on network drive

Hi,

For a client of us, I created a template in Word 2007.
This is a main mailmerge document that connects to a data source on the network.
The data source is a CSV file.
I connected to the data source manually from within the template and that worked OK.
The second time I opened the template I got the message that a SQL command was being executed on the (appropriate) file, so it looked as if the connection was made.
But once inside the main document, there was no connection and I had to connect manually again.
My client doesn't want to do this (and I think it should not be necessary).
Has anybody got a clue what causes this behavior and how I can fix it?
I read a post (from april 2009) with almost the same problem, but I couldn't find out if the solution has been posted too.
Thanks in advance!
