You can do two things to (probably) fix this. 1. You can use a symbolic link to the moved database file. Use an absolute path to a location that should never change, and in that location, put a symbolic link to the database file; to create one, try the sysinternal utility here: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896768.aspx 2. If you move the database file with the Excel file, you can recreate the ODBC connection string in VBA every time you open the file by parsing the Excel document's path name and replacing the relative part.
