I think the problem is the same as a problem i had. Excel tries to "UPDATE"
the links when you save a file and "corrupts" the link. To fix this you can
turn auto link updating off. DATAOPTIONSGENERAL click on web options
button. Under the tab named FILES deselect "update links on save". This
worked well for me but I wish microsoft would fix the problem.

In Excel 2000, this fix is in TOOLSOPTIONSCALCULATION/Workbook
options/update remote references.
