Default Changing Query Source Location?

Reiteration of problem - I have a query on an Excel
worksheet template which calls an Access database. When i
distribute this, the location of the database will be
different. I need to be able to update the database
location in the query definition somehow.

I tried getting the connection string by using:
?Sheet1.QueryTables("MyQuery").Connection
(obviously modified with my worksheet name, etc.), and
only end up getting Run-time Error 424 - Object required.

I'm new to Excel programming so I am probably missing
something obvious about how to do this, but I'm really
getting stumped and need help. The *only* way around this
that I have found so far is to literally start from a
fresh copy of the template and create the query from
scratch. Since this will be deployed in offices where I'm
not located, I don't want to have to make people there go
in and create queries like this when they are even more
unfamiliar with Excel than I am.

Please help!
