Excel database query referencing data in the same workbook
 
Folks,
Excel always asks me for a filename when I want to use Excel as the database
source, in particular a different worksheet in the same workbook I'm editing.
If I specify a fully qualified UNC name, which is an absolute path and
filename, and I move the file, what will happen? Can't just tell Excel
that the database source is the same workbook? How would I make a reference
to the same workbook, with something similar to a relative pathname and
filename?
Regards
kpiq

BTW, I know the basics of SQL so don't be afraid to use SQL to demonstrate
your point.
