Change a broken FDO connection source of a join

How can the FDO datasource connection within a join be changed to a different path?

Once the datasource is unavailable the join and the join manager for the map layer do not work.  Thus I have no way of updating the datasource for the join.

This is frustrating as I need to pass map documents to users that store their data in a different location and may even name their shape file slightly different.

Hi,

 

save layer as "layerfile" (via context menu) and edit the xml structure. Add layer to display manager again,
