Default formulas do not work

Look I am new to Excel so I will try to explain my problem on the example.
I have 1 big spreadsheet called "company" (where I keep all expenses like
diesel, wages etc..) and I extracted one of the worksheet called "diesel"
(used to calculate diesel expense for company) and saved that as seperate
file but still linked to the main spreadsheet. Both files worked perfectly,
when I updated diesel file authomatically other "company" file was updating
diesel values. Problem has started when I copied "diesel" file to other
computer.The reason I did it, was to copy that little "diesel" file to other
computer to be able to work on it independently from the main computer and
main s/sheet "company".
When the file "diesel" was updated on other computer I copied it back to the
main computer .When I looked at "company" file I noticed that my diesel
values are not updated. Now I have to change every diesel value manually.
When I want to copy formula from one cell to the other it brings me to file
menu , i have to go to My Documents , double click on "diesel" file and then
I have the right formula in the cell. But I have to do it with every single
cell in the file. What's going on ? Is there any simple way to update the
formulas in the cells ?Tha, Hanna
