Default Local version of Excel file used for mail merge in Word 07 on Vista ?

Dear All,
We have been using an Excel file as datbase for document merging for a
couple years. Everything worked fine until I received a brand new
Office 07/Win Vista machine.

Now mailmerging works, but it does not seem to fetch the data from the
same file as the one I see when I open Excel. ie I add lines in Excel
and save the document, but Word does not see them.

I had that sort of troubles with ini files ni Program Files Directory,
but I don't see why Vista would make a local copy of a file stored on
the network.

Any idea / hint ? Thanks in advance !

BR,
Damien
