Excel Pivot Tables - Changing External Data Source

I know this is Access, but Excel pivot tables linked to an Access DB are quite useful - but, how do you change the external source to a different Access DB?

I found it here and it bears repeating --> http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Languages/Visual_Basic/VB_Objects/Q_22910802.html

Basically you create another pivot table in the same workbook and then change the source of the old to 'Another PivotTable report or PivotChart report'. Once you've done that you can delete the new pivot table. MS... always consistent.
