Can I default master document's data source to *current folder*
Hi
I'm using 'Word 2003'. I have set up a master mailmerge letter document, say 'masterletter.doc' which gets its data from 'mydata.doc'. When I open 'masterletter.doc' it displays a dialog saying: ================================================== =========================== Opening this document will run the following SQL cmmand: SELECT * FROM C:\Documents and Settings\pat\My Documents\mydata.doc Data from your database will be placed in the document do you want to continue? ================================================== =========================== If I click 'Yes' the data is merged - no problem provided that 'mydata.doc' is in 'C:\Documents and Settings\pat\My Documents\'. My issue is that 'mydata.doc' and 'masterletter.doc' will not always be in the folder 'C:\Documents and Settings\pat\My Documents\', but they *will* always be in the same folder as each other. So I want the master mailmerge letter document to remember that the data is in 'mydata.doc', which is to be found in the same folder as ''masterletter.doc' I can't see a way of doing this via the mailmerge wizard. Is there any way of specifying the location of the source data with just file name rather than path + file name? Thanks Pat |
