Hi Experts<br />
<br />
I have a MSWord document which I am trying to set up as a mail merge that will link to a MSAccess query to retrieve the data.<br />
<br />
The merge works perfectly on my computer once I have linked to the query, however because other users have differently mapped drives it says it's unable to open the data source.<br />
<br />
As an example, on my computer, to navigate to the query, the pathway is G:\Projects\Example.accdb and on another user's computer the pathway is A:\Projects\Example.accdb<br />
<br />
Is there a way to get round this so that all users are able to open the document on their computer and run the mail merge?<br />
<br />
Thanks in advance<br />

Microsoft Word is a commercial document editing program that is part of the Microsoft Office suite. It features numerous text-editing tools for creating richly formatted documents, along with tools for the use of macros in Word documents. Word's native file formats are denoted either by a .doc or .docx file extension. Plugins permitting the Windows versions of Word to read and write formats it does not natively support, such as the OpenDocument format (ODF) are available. Word can import and display images in common bitmap formats such as JPG and GIF. It can also be used to create and display simple line-art.
