Moving the mailmerge main document around isn't the problem; it's moving the data source around that's the problem. If you keep the data source in a fixed folder to which all users have access, there shouldn't be any issues with the mailmerge main document finding it. That said, the mailmerge main document should also be kept in a folder all users have access to, instead of moving it around; otherwise there's a risk that different users will end up using different versions of the mailmerge main document for their merges.
