Folks,

I had to move an access database to another location. Unfortunately, I have some pivottables that point to it. Is there an easy way to change the file path of the pivot data?

Thanks

Have a look at my query manager, I'm interested to learn whether it handles a database change on pivot tables well:
www.jkp-ads.com/download.asp#querymanager (http://www.jkp-ads.com/download.asp#querymanager)
Alternatively, if it is just a matter of a search and replace of connection strings, my Flexfind tool might help too (see near top of the same webpage).

Thanks. However, my new corporate laptop prevents me from adding anything to it without getting clearance first :-(.

I did manage to scour the internet to find that I needed to change the pivotcache.connection property.

Nice that IT depts prevent you from using tools to enable you to work more efficiently :-)
