Hi.
I have set up a form letter to merge data from a sheet into a form.
This works well and I now want to send the files for another person to use.

On the receiving end I found I had to add the data source again (understandable) but also found I had to re-identify every field in the document to link it to the sheet.

Is there an easy way to do this.
Is it a feature request to have the data source automatically re-connected on opening the form if the data source was and still is in the same directory as the form (although the absolute paths to both may have changed).
