How does one go about changing the database that a form letter connects to?

I have this problem in several "form letters". I want to connect to a different database than the one they were created against for the simple reason that I have a different set of data that I want to print against.

If this is a simple spreadsheet connection then I can simply connect the database to a different spreadsheet. However I have a some cases where I need to use queries with joins and/or sub-queries, which precludes the use of a spreadsheet connection.

While the obvious answer is to use a single database and use a query to only select the current data, this is not ideal in my case. I prefer to keep the data sets entirely separate so I can archive them by event along with a lot of other event-specific files.
