maybe by cell coloring with embedded comment
 

hi to all,

"Maybe i can run a smart macro that can insert a comment in a cell if it is
dependent to another WORKBOOK while BOTH WORKBOOKS ARE STILL ACTIVE.."
to embed just the filename of the dependent workbook in a cell via comment
or by coloring the cell (e.g. gold) can alarm me that such cell must never be
deleted, unless the dependent workbook is open...

i do not know how to make this possible in my excel2003SP2

i have 2 files.
myfile1 contain cells that are used or referred by myfile2...

when both files are open and i click Trace dependent on a cell in
myfile1...i can see that this cell is being referred by myfile2....then i
save and close both files....

when i open again only myfile1....and i click Trace dependent on the same
cell...a pop up says that " ! The Trace Dependents COMMAND found NO formulas
that REFER to the active cell." - an "OK" button appears as well....


for sure someone from this forum or some link can help me with this..


please help or recommend or whatever kinda smart suggestion...

regards again
