Problem with file links changing
Good day all. Excel 2007.
I have a number of workbooks in memory some having file links referencing a data file also in memory. I have code which firstly saves the current data file (constantly updating) at month end run and then "Saves As" to another directory with a different file name. It then closes the new file and re-opens the original so that processing can continue for the new month. However, my problem is that all files with links to the original data file have now changed to reference the Saved As file!! e.g. VLookup and HLookup. I have tried various avenues but cannot get the links to remain as refrence to the current file. If anyone can help with this problem it will be greatly appreciated. |
