Default Links in formulas change when another user runs a workbook

Hello --

When another user runs a set of workbooks I built for him, links in formulas
include the name of the folder in which he stored the set of xls files.

In my original files, links simply look like
workbook.xls!range_name

His workbooks don't work. and, when he sends them to us to fix, the links
have to be changed.

MS article PSS ID Number: 327006 seems to be relevant to this problem.
If I understand the article, it suggests:

"To temporarily prevent the recalculation of external links, set the
calculation environment to Manual... "

I can see how to do that in code placed in Workbook_Open,
but I can't figure out where to turn recalculation back ON.

Am I on the right track with this as a solution to the problem?

If so, can someone tell me where to put code to turn recalculation ON.

If not, do you have an idea of how the links become changed?

Thank you for any help.
