Default Cell Reference Problem with Network

Actually this happens to all of my files I move back and forth from the
network and has caused a considerable amount of error. I have gone in and
edited the references but they keep popping up.

Hi 4Nails,

Let's say I have a spreadsheet with two worksheets = SheetA and SheetB.

SheetA might reference a cell in SheetB with a formula like =SheetB!A1

But when I move this to the network the reference changes to include the
network drive and file name like:

='Z:\FOLDER\[FILE]SheetB!A1


This is NOT normal behaviour of Excel. You should go into Edit, links then
click change source and point to THE FILE YOU HAVE OPEN. That should fix
this permanently. If not, I suspect your file may be corrupt.
