Hi,
I'm currently working on an excel application which is in its final
stages and near completion there is just one aspect I can't seem to
fix.
I have a main excel file (system.xls) which has many sheets and a front
sheet with various buttons linking to other workbooks and 1 button is
suppose to link to form which can be filled out and saved this form is
a template file. The template also links back to system.xls some of its
drop down lists and lookup tables come from this sheet.
The problem I have is when I try to use either VBA command for opening
a file or template it's either open for editing or I get a dialog
asking me to update the data (which is pointless as both buttons break
the linking). I also tried a hyperlinking the file but this just opens
it for editing as well... another weird thing was when I tried to do a
hyperlink to the folder it was in it so you could just double click the
template I still get the update errors. But If I run my main file, then
browse and open the template through windows it works fine.
Basically all I need to know is, is there a way to open a template from
inside another excel spreadsheet without all this nonsense about
updating values?
