I have created a mail merge document that is used by more than one user and
on more than one compter in the office network.
The data source from the original document is connected to 5 other
documents. Every time I use it I have to link the data source again to each
document. What causes the link to the documents to be lost and how can I set
it so it puts the inmormaton into the docs with out tracing the path to the
datasource every time?

Hi ?B?dHNhbQ==?=,

I have created a mail merge document that is used by more than one user and
on more than one compter in the office network.
The data source from the original document is connected to 5 other
documents. Every time I use it I have to link the data source again to each
document. What causes the link to the documents to be lost and how can I set
it so it puts the inmormaton into the docs with out tracing the path to the
datasource every time?

Difficult to say without knowing a lot more about the type of network, the type
of data source, version of Word...

Best place to pursue this is the specialized newsgroup for mail merge. You'll
find specialists there who don't dig through the mass of messages in this
"general" group. They may be able to help you
