Broken ODBC Connection
 
I am not sure if this is the correct location for this question but here it
goes.

I have a user with several spreadsheets that update data from an odbc
connection. The odbc connections are pointing to ASG Safari InfoServer (not
that that matters, just an FYI). I upgraded the application, and the user
can log in and connect to InfoServer, but all the odbc connections in her
spreadsheets will not update data.

Where in the spreadsheet (query tool) do I look to test/update my odbc
connections?

TIA

You need to look in the Connection property of QueryTables and
PivotCaches. Sometimes you also need to modify the SQL property of
QueryTables since there is a tendency to include the name of database
files in the SQL, but probably not in this case as it is a real server.

If you need it I can supply a utility that will modify such properties.
