title: How can I share an excel ODBC connection with other people?
body: <p>I recently developed an excel file that uses internal excel connections to update a few of the tabs from a data import tab within the workbook.  Everything works great until I email it to one of my co-workers and he tries to update the data. He will get the error message below.  I never set a password on the material so I am unsure why this error is occurring.</p>
  
  <p>I cant add a photo (rep isn't high enough yet) but the error text is below.</p>
