What would cause some links to not-update (with the source closed). I have
numerous links that for the most part all will update with changes, or on
opening. I have one set of links that don't seem to follow the rest. What
would cause this to happen?

The link that is not updating (that is until I open the source workbook) is
using the volitile "indirect" function which I thought always did a
recalcuation, which should have activated the link. The indirect function is
pointing to a cell containing the text of a defined name range which is
pointing to an external workbook.

Is there a way to force excel to go ahead an look into the closed workbook?
or will I have to just always open the external source?
