I have an excel VBA project that uses ADODB and manipulates data in an ACCDB.
I know that you can store the path for the ACCDB in a cell of the excel sheet. However I would like to know: Is there another way to store the path rather than in the sheet?
I know that if I store it in a variable, when the program closes it releases the variable.
If you ask me why I want this, it's more because I want the code not being too dependent in the front-end of the excel, as some unskilled people will also use this project.
Perhaps there is a more professional or known way to store folder or file paths?

You can store it in a Custom Document Property.
Or in a Name using the Name Manager.
Or in a cell of a hidden Worksheet.

I have a PlanetScale database containing two tables: Students and Certificates.
Each student has one certificate.
I want to export the data in order to read it in Excel.
Also, I managed to download the data in SQL format using the PlanetScale CLI.
SQL dump on local directory
If I can somehow transform these files to make them readable with Excel it would also be a solution.

I ran across some files on a public share. The extension is .tabufa. There is concern this is some sort of hack. Based on my knowledge of that business unit and some of the file names, I suspect these files have something to do with Tableau. Most of them are like filename.xlsm.tabufa, but one is filename.lnk.tabufa.
Another likely scenario is someone did a batch rename to tack .tabufa to the end of all file names in that folder, so this may be a wild goose chase.
I have found nothing about this extension by using a search engine.
One other clue: There is a file named how_to_back_files.html in the same folder. The user who identified the file extension (Right, it wasn't me. I don't have access to that folder.) verified that this file contains the ransom note.
These are files that have been encrypted by GlobeImposter 2.0 Ransomware. See this link.
Probably not Tableau. I would be more inclined to lean on the .xlsm portion which would indicate that it is a Macro Enabled Excel file. I'm guessing a Macro caused/created the custom extension either on purpose or on accident.
To verify, you can change the the extension to .xml. Open with a text editor and if it is Tableau it will start with something similar to the following:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<!-- build 20182.18.0627.2230 -->
<workbook original-version='10.5' source-build='2018.2.0 (20182.18.0627.2230)'
source-platform='mac' version='18.1'

I am trying to make a workbook that automatically updates when it is saved or completely live, to be used almost like a google doc sheet but it needs to be on excel. But it needs to be viewed or edited by multiple people at the same time. It needs to be done on share point. Thanks
Depends on your version of SharePoint. With SharePoint 365, which is online, files can be edited in Excel Online, which allows co-authoring by multiple people.
For on-premises farms you can use the Excel Web App, which also allows simultaneous editing by multiple people.

When I open a VBA-File directly with notepad or notepad++, I only see a bunch of weird characters.
How did I open a VBA-File:
Unzip a *.dotm file
There you'll find a file /word/*.bin
Unzip this *.bin file
There you have the VBA-Project Source Code
Now try to open/view it with your editor of choise
Do someone know a way to view the source code correctly? Using dll or replace characters, etc...
The .bin is itself a Zip file that contains OLE Structured Storage/BIFF documents that are
somewhat non-trivial to interact with.

If Word is available on the machine running your application you can use it's COM Automation features to export VBA Projects as plain-text files.
