Save copy of folder with linked files
 

I have a folder containing files which are interlinked. Example

C:\Folder A\Data\A1\1.xls
C:\Folder A\Worksheet\A.xls

Certain cells in A.xls is linked to 1.xls. I copy & paste Folder A to server
H:

When I open A.xls from server, the cell is linked correctly
H:\FolderA\Data\A1\1.xls. However, it cannot be updated. It will prompt for
location of the file, from My Document. How can make sure the link is
correct. I can't update source individually as the linkage is massive (more
than 300 files).

Pls help

Save copy of folder with linked files
 

In Lotus 123, there is a function File-User Setup-123 Preference-File
locations-Workbook files. By changing the workbook files to X:\Folder A, the
link will automatically follow the link and extract information from
Data\A1\1.xls located in X:\Folder A

Is there a similar function in Excel? I have tried
Data-Option-General\Default file locations and changing the location to
X:\Folder A. But, it won't update automatically. It will stop at X:\Folder,
and not go into sub-folder Data\A1. [Note: I can't specify the sub-folder
because, A.xls also link to sub-folder A2, A3, etc.]

I'm so careless, the link actually is incorrect. I should have copy from C:
and paste to Server: instead of a new folder in Server. The link can't read
the intermediate folder.
