    Changing a link for an Access Database

    I have a spreadsheet that links to an Access database and creates a pivot table.

    I would like to update the link to pull from a different database.

    How do you do that without havig to recreate everything?

    Thank you.

    Here you go....

    The free Pivot Play add-in, located at Debra Dalgleish's website, may help:
    http://www.contextures.com/xlPivotPlay01.html

    It allows you to view/edit the connection and SQL code for Pivot Tables that use external data sources. It has many other features, too.

    Does that help?
