update a closed file via links
 

Can I update a value (linked) in a closed file? In other words, if files A &
B link to data in file C, and I update values in C, is there a function or
program that I can run to force the updates in A & B, without actually
opening A & B?

Thanks,

RR

Not that I know of.

But the next time you open them, if you answer the prompts nicely, won't the
values be updated?

thanks for your response; yes they would be updated at the next open, but I
wanted to not have to open them (just re-post / attach)
