Merge documents and datafiles moved to new server

P

Peter Plys

We have during the past years had 3 diff. servers.
Srv1, FS2, Srv3 and now we have QX4

We have allways had a folder structure likes this:
for merged word documents:
\\servername\data\1234567\1234\*.doc
for the datafiles
\\servername\data\1234567\1234\*.dat

There is one .dat file for every .doc.

Word saves the full path to the datafile in the document:

excample doc: \\Srv1\data\1234567\1234\000012.doc
excample datc: \\Srv1\data\1234567\1234\000012.dat

Now when we open the 000012.doc it can't find the dat files because it is looking for the server Srv1.

We have thousands of documents and we cant open and save all these fiels manually.

1.
Is it possible to do a script that looks for alle .doc in a folder and its subfolders and connect it to the proper .dat.

2.
It is possible to do a kind of redirect - so whenever a .doc looks for \\srv1\... it would look for \\QX4\.... instead?
