Default Relative vs. Absolute Path Names for linked cell data

I need to manage information in several Excel files, located in several
folders. I link information from one file's cell to another using the
AutoSum, clicking on a different Excel file and into the field that contains
the data I want to link to. This all works great until I copy the file onto
another computer whose file structure for folders is similar, but not exact.
What I need is relative path names (rather than absolute path names), i.e.

=SUM('[..\PURCHASING\[BOH 2007InvoiceLaborTracking.xls]March'!$S$32)

vs.

=SUM('C:\Documents and Settings\HP_Administrator\My
Documents\BOH\PURCHASING\[BOH 2007InvoiceLaborTracking.xls]March'!$S$32)
