My links no longer work . . .
The first thing you will ask is . . did you move the file? The answer is no.
Here's my problem: I have developed fully functional MES and MRP system with excel. I may have pushed the envelope of what excel can be expected to do as the MRP workbook itself is about 15 MB and contains several hundred links. I was very impressed that excel was able to handle this . . . until today (the system worked quite well for about 6 mos). Now, when I open any of my main files and update, I only get returns of info on apparently random links. The majority of them don't work. I am not aware of any changes done that may account for this -- and why do some links work and some don't (same type of info from same file - even same column but randomly only a few work) Please, I need to know of as many possible reasons this may have happened so I can work on a solution. If I find it, I will post as I see others have had similar problems.Thanks |

Somebody did a find and replace in your file?

My links no longer work . . .
If you mean did somebody make changes that may make the links not work, the
answer is no. The links will work if I open all relevant files. If you mean that using a find and replace in general will cause problems -- This is possible. If you read this Anne can you elaborate?

Well, the only thing I could think is that someone did a find and replace,
not realizing it could affect such a thing. I'd have to have specific examples of what the old link was and the new link--the more examples the better, of course. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "mike" wrote in message ...

My links no longer work . . .
Ok, I guess I should give you more info -- This will probably baffle you.
All the files are located on the server. There are about 4 users who regularly access the files but I'm assuming I'm the only one who makes changes to critical info (not all files are password protected). The links are identical to the pre-problem links (first thing i checked). For example: I have a main inventory file with item codes and item descriptions (and a whole bunch of other stuff but its not relevant). My MRP file has item codes and vlookups to the item descriptions (descriptions change so i only wanted one source for the descriptions). When I open the MRP and click update it will retrieve some of the descriptions but not all (less than 50%)--(actually that was yesterday, today I get an "unable to open file" error when it tries to link and nothing gets updated). However, I can easily go to the location indicated in the link, open the file that it needs to link to and everything works peachy (except my computer lags from having all the large files open simultaneously). The odd thing is also that this is affecting more than one file--someone would have had to do the search and replace on multiple files (although possible) that are not even related. My final thought is: Can this be something other than Excel? (server problem, network problem, windows problem etc?)

Quite honestly, Mike, when I hear people opening "so many workbooks" and
having "so many links", I begin to think you'd be better off using Access. It's just designed to handle relationships like this better than Excel, tho I've never claimed to be any good at relationships, LOL. Anyway, to get you beyond your current dilemma... it sounds to me like SOME of the links could be updating and, due to lag or resources on your PC, others are not updating or are just getting lost somehow. I can only tell you what I would do if I were you and converting to a *real* DB isn't an option: 1. Clean up my hard drive: http://www.officearticles.com/misc/h...hard_drive.htm so you know you've got all the resources you possibly can (I realize this might apply to other PCs too). 2. Clean up the workbooks/worksheets as good as you possibly can: http://www.officearticles.com/excel/...soft_excel.htm http://www.officearticles.com/excel/...soft_excel.htm I only include the 2nd article in case any of these workbooks seem bloated. 3. Create a macro (you can record this one, I think) that opens all the other files, or at least those necessary for efficiency when working with your workbook, when you open your main file. Put that macro in the Workbook open by right-clicking any sheet tab and hit View Code. Then on the left, double-click This Workbook. Then from the dropdowns on the right, choose Workbook. Then paste your recorded code over on the right. It should end up looking something like this: _______________________________ Private Sub Workbook_Open() Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\RestaurantRetriever FastFood.xls" Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\Book1.xls" Workbooks.Open Filename:= _ "C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\RestaurantRetriever .xls" End Sub __________________________________ Save and close your file, then reopen to test. (I'm sure the code could be more efficient, but it's not lengthy code anyway). Hopefully, others will also have suggestions. ************ Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com "mike" wrote in message ...

My links no longer work . . .
Thanks Anne,
I'll keep workinging on this, I think I may have it figured out. The Workstation that does all the writing to the inventory file was recently upgraded. The tech guy may have used a different route to the file when he created the new shortcuts (through network places rather than just T:\blah\blah) or something to do with that. Theoretically it should still work but I have had something similar happen were one route allows access to the file and the other does not. I agree that Access would have been alot better but I needed a system fast and I don't know much about it ;). I only need this system to work for 6 more months then I get to buy an ERP system (yay!) Thanks for the macro suggestion--if I can't fix it that should get us through for the next while. I'll post a solution--I'm getting closer . . . i can feel it . . . ; ) "Anne Troy" wrote: Quite honestly, Mike, when I hear people opening "so many workbooks" and having "so many links", I begin to think you'd be better off using Access.

SOLUTION FOUND!
As is often with these sort of things the problem was caused by a small thing that was easy to fix -- trying to find it was the hard part. Any one else with this type of problem check these things: did a file get moved? are the links pointing to the correct address? Make sure the workbook being linked to is not protected. mMy problem was the last one. someone accidently protected workbook after making a change rather than protecting sheet. I hope this helps someone ;) "mike" wrote: Thanks Anne, I'll keep workinging on this, I think I may have it figured out.
