Mail Merge Data Source Question

I have a user who wants the "Mail Merge Helper" button, "Open Data Source" function to open up to a specific drive rather than "My Documents". I didn't see a programming forum for Word, and this seems like it would be a VB trick if it is even possible, so I thought I'd ask you guys. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Alex
 
You can do this with the default documents folder. You will find it under Tools->Options. Or programmatically:
[tt]Options.DefaultFilePath(Path:=wdDocumentsPath) = "C:\Some\DatabaseDir"[/tt]
