Long shot... but is there a way to have a file reference without full path reference in a query?
Senario... I have a spreadsheet with several queries to another spreadsheet (hope to change this to an Access DB at some stage since that's where the data comes from) that hold valid values for those queries. The idea was the 2nd spreadsheet was to be updated whenever needed and distributed to the couple of people that needed to use it. Worked fine as those people were all on the same site with similar drive mappings, however I've now got someone else needing it at a different site and they map to our server as a different drive letter (can't be helped... they have their own local server with similar drive mappings to ours that can't be changed). I don't want to have to send them a special version.
I have the queries seperate sheets in the 'master' spreadsheet and after reading heaps (but not finding an exact answer) I thought maybe I can manipulate the connection string so that it works from the folder this file resides in (thus picking up the different drive mappings in the process). Haven't tried this yet though.
Any other suggestions?
