Default Changing data source passwords in workbook ?

My company has just implemented expiring passwords. Some
of my users have created Excell workbooks containing
multiple worksheets, each retrieving data from an external
database.

This means that when the password expires the user will
have to change the password in each worksheet. (In some
cases 20 sheets to a book)

It appears that you should just be able to update the data
source object (dsn) and all worksheets using it should be
updated. It doesn't seem to work that way. Once the
Workbook is saved, even if you delete the Data Source it
still connects using the old connection information.

I need to find a simpler way for my users to update their
queries when their passwords expire.
