Word 2007 cannot find the the data source (an excel spreadsheet) when the files are residing in an external network drive. If I move both documents to a local drive, word opens the document
and links it to the spreadsheet with no problem. Otherwise I get an error message that starts with a hex number, i.e., "7CFE5F11 is a mail merge main document. Word cannot find its data source, S:\...\document name (S:\ is my NAS drive).
So every time I need to use both documents together I have to reconnect them again manually. BTW, I am connecting both documents using MS Excel Worksheet via DDE (.xls)
