Checking/amending the external source link to an Access table

S

Simka

I am using Access 2003 and Excel 2003

I have two Access databases (DB1 and DB2) and one Excel worksheet (WK1) in
the same folder. Each of the databases has a table with the same name (TBL1)
with the same data in each table, (ie one database is a copy of the other).

In the Excel worksheet there is a pivot table to extract the data from the
table within one of these databases. My question is:

1. How is it possible to discover the path and particularly the database
name and table the pivot table in the Excel worksheet is connected/linking to?
And...
2. Is there a way to change the link to the other database without
reconstructing the pivot table?
- I thought the answers may be in the pivot table/chart wizard, but I cannot
see it.

Use the wizard and go back to step 2; click on "Obtain data" (not sure
of that, I am using a french version), Cancel, and accept using Query.
Click on the "SQL" button. From there, you can access and edit the
path, file and table.
