which excel database is my word merge document accessing

A particular Word 2010 merge document accesses an Excel database.

Where in that Word document does it say which database?

For a mailmerge main document that has successfully connected to its data source (i.e. after answering ‘Yes’ to the mailmerge SQL prompt), go to Mailings>Edit Recipient List and hover over the file named in the 'Data Source' box. You should now see the full name & path of the data source.

Thank you -- that does it
