Default how the link of Excel is updated automatically using workgroup LAN

I have 3 computer workstations connected via switch to construct small LAN
workgroup , each workstation has windows xp sp1 and office xp proffesional,
The first workstation has excel file (d1.xls) which has entry cell for
number of employees say n1
The second workstation has excel file (d2.xls) which has entry cell for
number of employees say n2
The third workstation has excel file (d3.xls) which has (link to n1 + link
to n2 )
When n1 and n2 are entered the link of the sum in d3.xls is not updated
automatically so d1.xls and d2.xls must be saved and closed and d3.xls must
be closed and opened again to update the link of the sum(n1,n2).
So what is the way to update the link automatically during the moment the
n1 and n2 are entered without closing the files
