Changing a server in an Access Data Project file

I have a few data projects (.adp) in Access that I need to not only change the server name, but make it not hard-coded. These are probably 10 years old, and the original programmer is long gone (the project was probably written in Access 97 or 2000). I'm not familar with project files since I've never had the need to use them. Where do I change the server, and can it be made not hard coded, or do I have to rewrite everything? If there's a base Access file that creates the project, then I think that's long gone. Also, it seems the ADP is linking directly to the server rather than using ODBCs.
 
To change the server, choose Connection under the File menu.
