copying workbooks
When I copy a workbook from one computer to another, the copied workbook
links still refer to the original. How do I set up or copy the workbook while keeping the calculations within the same workbook? |

Need more info:
Are computers on same network? Where are the files located? In a nutshell, on the new computer that files are copied to, when the file is opened, you should get a warning about "Links". You can edit them at this time to keep them intact. HTH :-) "acomputer4u" wrote: When I copy a workbook from one computer to another, the copied workbook links still refer to the original.

some computers are on the same network, some in remote areas.
I do not want to have the warning message to be displayed, I want the links to be self contained within the workbook. People using these workbooks have no or little knowledge of excel spreadsheets, and how to change fields,parameters,links or formulas. They will just be entering data in the non-protected fields for reporting data. All the links point to sheets within the workbook. So when the workbook is copied the links are not modified pointing to where the files were. I hope this is enough info, thanks "FloMM2" wrote: Need more info: Are computers on same network?

acomputer4u,
If it were me... I would move the workbook where it needed to be, then open the workbook for each location at that location, and edit links the first time it is opened. That way you know it works, the end user will open it next and not know of the links. It is kind of a pain, but success is achieved easier with only one person editting links. If these are remote locations, if you can find someone at the site, to walk them through editting the links. This is another option.
