Default Word linked with database

Hi,

I have an acess database linked with a word document and working fine.
But my question is if it's possible to link the document by a mapped network
drive instead of linking from the local drive.

Thanks

Theorertically, it should work. Practically, the mail merge document might lose
the connection when it's closed, so that you'd have to link up again when you
next open it.
