Default Copying worksheets into different Excel files

I have an excel spreadsheet that I update every day. A few weeks ago, I made
a copy of it (so now I have 2) because I wanted to make some changes, but did
not want to do it in one day, and did not want to disrupt my daily work. NOW-
I have to excel spreadsheets the first one (the original) is currently up to
date with my daily work, but does not have the new page I made. The second
one has the updated worksheet in it, but has data from the day I created the
duplicate file many weeks ago. When I attempt to copy and paste just the
changed worksheet into the one I have been using daily for the last few weeks
it was to point all my formulas to the other file... Normally my formulas are
pointing to the other sheets where the data resides, but NOW my formulas are
pointing to the other excel file... How can I fix this?? I have tried every
combination in the "paste special function," but I stilll can't figure it
out. Thanks for your help.

Try opening the file and using Edit | Links and change the source to the
current workbook by pointing it to it's own name in the file browser when
that comes up during the process.
