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.

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?

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
