Cheryl,

Firstly, just try removing the references, they may not be needed.

After that, it is a case of determining where each is used and how to manage
it. It may be that you have to update them.

I have couple of references ticked in my '97 file. Some users have
started
to work at home on newer versions of Excel and the next time they open the
file on '97 these references are 'MISSING' and this causes problems.

Is there anyway to avoid this apart from physically changing the
references
when the file is opened on '97?

Thanks in advance.

Cheryl
