Link to Excel files
if I link two files save and close both then just open 1 of those,
it doesnt pick up the links/formulas and shows #VALUE! for each cell, until the other one is open too. Please help |

Link to Excel files
How did you set up the links between the files?

Link to Excel files
I manually linked them ie open 2 files. In one cell type = then go to the
other file and link accordingly. On the same note sometimes I link the entire file or tab from the same file (ie ctrl+K then select the file or tab) but often that also fails to reopen. First I thought its because I am linking different Excel files ie Excel 97-2003 with xls (Excel 2007). Or xls with macro to xls without macro etc. But even I tried linking the same files eg xlsm with xlsm still the same problem. For future reference - do you reckon linking different excel files could have caused this problem? Thanks in advance "Pete_UK" wrote: How did you set up the links between the files?

Link to Excel files
I don't have XL2007, so I can't test this out, but I would have
thought that if your formula is in the .xls (97-2003) file and you are trying to bring data from an .xlsx (2007) file then this will cause problems. Hope this helps.
