New user problem with shared database

I have my database complete and installed on an individual computer (base)
that allows the databse to be shared by two other computers (remotes) over a
wireless small office network through an x:\ link. I have several Word files
that merge data from the database queries, which are also located on the base
computer and shared by the others. All is good on the base computer and all
is good when using the database from the two remote computers. However, the
proble arises when I try to use one of the shared Word files on one of the
remote computers. When I open one of the shared Word files on the remote
comuters, instead of merging the data from the data source established on the
base computer, it gives me the "find data source" window. If I re-connect
the datasource from the remote computer back to the database on the base
computer, then when i go back to use the Word files on the base computer, the
datasource is gone there. Can Anyone Help?

Although I haven't tried it myself, I've heard a lot of problems using Access
on a wireless network. Access can be hard enough on a wired network!
