Default Change the location of external data feeding a pivottable

You are correct: Pivot Play does not work with Excel 2007.
I'm not sure if the process got easier from Excel 2003 to 2007.
I don't use Excel 2007, so I can't supply a solution or alternative for you.

Is there anything like this for Excel 2007? I assume this add-in would not
work with 2007? Or is there another way? I have what I think is similar
issue:

Each month I need to point the same excel file to a different access DB
(format of the table I am linking to is always constant, regardless of the DB
source).

Ideas?

See the Pivot Play section of Debra Dalgleish's website:

One of Pivot Play's main purposes is to redirect the query source.

Is that something you can work with?

Some time ago I created a pivottable which pulls data from an external MS
Access database. I need to move the database to another directory.

I know that if I select "Pivottable Wizard" and "Back" I can redefine the
source of my external data, but it seems that I need to redefine the entire
connection (source, query, fields etc) and I'm not sure I can remember
everything I did. Is there a way I can change just the location of the
source data, without going through the entire linking process ?
