How can I link excel spreadsheets that work on other computers
When I link data on sheets of an excel workbook they don't work when I move
the workbook to another computer. How can I set up the links so that it will work on any compter. |

Hi
I myelf use this technique: When creating the link first time, I map the netwotk resource, where the source workbook is situated, as drive. P.e. I map the share on server as Q. Now the link p.e. to cell A1 on sheet Sheet1 in MyFile.xls in subfolder Data will be: ='Q:\Data\[MyFile.xls]Sheet1'!A1 When the source workbook is moved to another share, I simply redefine the mapping in user's computer - and the link will work as it did before. When mappings are created localy, you have to visit every user's computer or to send a mail with detailed instructions to every user. When all mappings are created through script, when logged on into network, you have to edit PDC logg-on scripts. -- When sending mail, use address arvil<attarkon.ee Arvi Laanemets "Bob" wrote in message ...
