Word 2003 can be a bit pedantic about data files. You may be able to lose
the prompts about finding the data if you put the data file in the folder
defined at
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Common\DataServices.
Unfortunately I have not found a way to enter any folder here with a path -
yet. The folder is by default a sub directory of My Documents called My Data
Sources, but you can change this to another sub directory of My Documents
and that's about it.
