Default Link to Network Drive

Yes, that's what I want to do, but I can't see a way of doing it, I go into
DataImport External DataNew Database Query, but then I do not get an
option to use the Network drive path, just the 'H' drive, I have tried to
modify the existing query but can't see a way of doing it there either.

Reference it by its true network name instead of your mapped drive-
ie, if it is on a server called "myserve" then you would reference "\
\myserve"
