Default Links between sheets in error due to insert rows

If you name the cell (insert|name|define), then the link will follow that named
cell--no matter where it is.

I have links set up between a number of complex worksheets and workbooks in
excel 2003. However, I find that when I insert rows or columns in the sheet
to which I'm linking, it throws off the value in the linking sheet.

In workbook #1, I have link <=[workbook #2.xls]worksheet!$B$10

If I go to Workbook #2 and insert a row or rows above row 10, the value
shown in Workbook #1 changes, because it is showing the new value in cell
B10. However, what I want to be able to do is link to the particular cell in
workbook #2 - so that I could insert and delete rows/columns, and the info in
that particular cell would still be the source of the link.

Thanks,
Sarah
