No, someone (Graham?) posted this information in one of the NGs
recently...ah, found it, in a thread called "Data Source folder" on June 15:
"It can be set to any sub folder directly below 'My Documents', but no
other location, by means of a registry edit.
"My
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Offi ce\11.0\Common\DataService
s
"However if you attempt to change this to another folder location it will be
ignored and the My Documents parent folder will be used instead."

Hi Suzanne,
You can't do that, unfortunately, but if your data sources are all in
Excel,
you can at least make it look in an Excel folder first. This requires a
Registry edit.
I've been under the impression, since Office XP, that one can't change the
target folder, not even in the Registry. Do you have link to this
information?
