Default Relative filepaths?

I am creating a pivot table in workbook1 from data held in workbook2. This
works just fine. Both workbooks are in the same directory.
If I now move that directory either on the same computer or, as I need to be
able to do, on to a second computer the source data cannot be found when I
refresh the pivot table. Obviously the path has changed though I do always
keep the 2 files together in the one directory.

I think my problem is that the data source is defined via an absolute file
path but what I need is to be able to do is direct the pivot table to the
appropriate file that will always be in the *same* directory.

Can anyone help me ensure that the two workbooks stay in touch with each
other no matter where I move them so long as they both stay in the same
directory?

As always any advice will be greatly appreciated.

I am using Excel 2003 on Vista

Thank you, Peter
