First of all, I have tried again and again to post into the misc group
but my message gets stuck on the end of an old message????? not at the
top where I want it

Anyway hello all,
I use several linked files at work, I noticed the links hadn't
updated
properly in a few of the files, I opened a file and had to F2 a cell
link and the correct numbers then were displayed. I noticed at the
same time which must be connected that normally the path of the link
will reduce to just the name when the source file is open. This
wasn't
happening the full path was still displayed when the source file was
open. I made sure of the obvious things, like drive mappings still
available and calculation set to automatic, I know I still have the
mappings etc as I can open the source files no problem

Any ideas

Cheers
David

Have you tried, from the main menu, Edit Links and press the Update Values
button? This doesn't explain your problem, but it may solve it for practical
purposes.
