Update Files Automatically with Links
 

Here is my dilemma. I have several files that have a link to a pricing
sheet. I normally have to change the price and then open and update each
file to show the changes I made on the link page. Is there a short cut where
when I update the link page and save it that it would automatically update
all the pages it is linked too? I have so many files it almost takes half a
day to open and close every file to update the links. Any help would be
appreciated.
Thanks
Chris

Update Files Automatically with Links
 

It sounds like you are trying to "push" the changes into the linked files. As
this is essentially changing the workbooks, and requires saving them, it
sounds like the path you're on is unchangeable.

Why do you need to push the changes though? Ideally, the update would occur
whenever one of the files is opened (and needed). If no one is opening the
file, why update it?

If there is a 3rd workbook which is trying to link to the aforemention
unopened workbooks, perhaps you should have "that" workbook link to the price
info in 1st workbook.
