Default XL2003 Destination and Source Open but not updating

Hi,

I recently migrated to 2003 and when using a file created in 2000/2002 the
links
do not update when the Source file is open. First, I opent the destination
workbook, choose not to update links, open the source workbook and make
changes. The changes are not updated in the destination workbook.

If I edit the equation in the destination workbook by deleting the path
('\\server\folder\[filename]sheet'!cellref) up to the filename of the source,
then the values update. Once I close the source, the equation in the
destination changes to a mapped drive type path
('S:\folder\[filename]sheet'!cellref).

Why are the links not updating when the source is open, and why is the path
changing from \\server style to mapped drive style?
