Help Please
Office 2007 all updates Continuous looping PowerPoint displaying charts that are linked to an excel workbook which remains open at all times. PowerPoint has an add-in to update external links each time the continuous presentation loops (triggered after last slide is displayed) Linked excel workbook remains open at all times. This workbook has a timed macro that retrieves data from other workbook sources on an hourly basis. Code: (ActiveWorkbook.UpdateLink Name:= _ "K:\ Daily Production Sheets\1008 Production Reports.xlsb", _ Type:=xlExcelLinks) This process works great for two and three days at a time then out of nowhere the updating stops and the excel workbook displays this error €śthis workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated 101120€ť I have run the bad link finding add-in that prior efforts revealed but no bad links were discovered. I can manually run the macro and no errors occur. My frustration is that it will work fine for a while then blow up and there is no pattern or indication that it is imminent. Is it possible that if a user had the workbook open that the primary workbook is linking to that this could blow things up? If so how could I protect the process from crashing? This would be bad because by nature it will have to occur frequently. I am not a VB guru so please be kind in your responses. Thank you for any suggestions |
