We connect via terminal services to an excel spreadsheet that has an
ODBC link to an access database using a pivot table, when we try to
refresh the data within the excel spreadsheet we receive the following
error "the microsoft jet database engine cannot find the input table or
query....."
this works ok if the user connects to terminal services as the
administrator however if they connect as any other issue it won't work
Anyone got any ideas?

Since the original connection is thru TS, the login name may not have
permissions to the folder where the Access DB lies.
Usually a link between Access & Excel doesn't require an ODBC
connection. Any connection string that allows access to an Access (JET)
DB will have UID (user name)and PWD (password) parameters (if required).
You can set the UID to Admin and the PWD to whatever the password is:
...;UID=Admin;PWD=OpenSesame;
I'm not sure if this will solve your problem, but worth a try. I
believe the answere lies in the TS permissions for the login in.
BTW, a TRUE ODBC connection string will look something like this (a DSN
less connection string to SQL Server):
ODBC;Driver={SQL Server};Server=MyServer;Database=MyDB;UID=sa;PWD=a bcd
An ODBC connection string always has ODBC at the beginning.
A connection to an Access table, using JET:
DATABASE=C:\My Documents\Utilities.mdb;UID=Admin;PWD=abcd
