Does emailing internally break linked data?
One of my users found that links pointing to a shared F: drive are lost when
a document is emailed within the department, even though all the machines have this same drive mapped. Excel defaults to look for the links in the C: drive and then continues along the rest of the path of the network drive which of course doesn't work. The user says that in the past this worked, but as far as I can tell linked data doesn't come through when a spreadsheet is emailed, even if you have the same shared drive. I've tested this on Win2k and XP and the behavior is the same. Can someone confirm this? Thanks. |

In my experience you are right.You might have to teach the user to re
establish the links or write a little macro to do it -- paul remove nospam for email addy!
