Using Word 2007. Wanting to create the data source file on the server and
manage it there. Then have Word on the client machine use that HTM file via
the HTTP protocol. But I get a file not found error. If I put that same
file on the client box and reference it directly (eg C:\...) and not via
http://..., all is well.

Word can't use data sources at URL locations (http://, ftp:// etc.), even in
Word 2007 AFAIK. I don't know why, and I don't currently know a way around
it unless the file can also be reached via Windows networking (e.g. a UNC
pathname).
