Link porblems
Hello,
I tried posting a similar question in microsoft.public.excel.links a few days ago, but got no response, so I hope it's OK if I try it here. I received some xls files from a client, he wants them linked as the source to a master spreadsheet. When I set up links to these workbooks, it seems like everything is ok, but after I close the source file and then try to update the link, I get a "Unable to read file" message. If I open up the source file, it works OK. Also, if I save the source file with my version of Excel (97), then close it, everything works great and I can update the links with no trouble. A side note, the file size jumps from 11k to 19k when I save it., so I'm sure it's a different version, yet strangly enough, I don't get the "This file was created in a later version . . " message. Do you think this is a version issue? Also, is there any way of telling, from the workbooks, what version of Excel was used in creating them? Thanks for your help on this. Regards DaveU |
