I have eliminated the problem with the error message. The new problem is
that my Total workbook will not update with the new data inputed to the
source workbook until each individual target workbook has been opened. I
need this workbook to open with correct data without opening each individual
workbook.
Any ideas?

That message may apply only for #value errors.

Post back if it fails.

In fact, post back either way.

Thanks,

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?
