Link excel and word in mail merge without losing your data source?

I'm trying to make labels and envelopes but I want Excel as my data source to
be linked in the Word mail merge in case of changes to the data source and
then it will automatically change in the mail merge. I can do that part but
when I ready to share this information with other people within the
organization, it states it can't find the data source that I've used. Please
help, if would save me a lot of time. Thanks.

Unless you do something special (share a folder on your pc and always leave that
pc on), the other users can't see the data.

It would be much easier to put that excel file on a common network folder.
