Datasource Name beginning with http:// not working

[Louis-M. Boudreault]

I have a macro for MailMerge(done by a consultant in VB) in Word with an
Excel datasouce. I have to test this macro on SharePoint but if I change the
adress of the Excel file from \\serveur\... to an the adress beginning by
http:// it not working. I suppose that some change are needed in the code.
Do you have an example of changes needed?

Hi Louis-M.,

You may want to use the link below to also post this to the MS Word Mailmerge discussion group and when posting there include the
versions of Word, Excel and Sharepoint you're working with.
