Default Excel Links Updates in 2003

My office recently upgraded to 2003 from 97. We experienced #REF errors in
many cells in our workbooks after the upgrade. To eliminate the #REF errors
I re-established most of the links in the A) Source or Data Workbook; B)
Target or Dept Workbooks; and C) Target Total Workbook.

Now we have a new problem. When data is changed in Workbook A, all B
Workbooks must be opened in order for Workbook C to update. In 97 we only
had to update data in A, then open Workbook C. All Workbooks would update
and the correct data would filter to Workbook C.

It would appear that there is now some sort of hierarchy of links between
Workbook A, Workbooks B, and Workbook C. Unless you open each individual
Workbook, Workbook C will not update.

How can we overcome this problem? It is too time consuming to open each
Workbook B individually.

Help?
