Default using someone else's spreadsheet

Hi

One of my work colleagues has created an Excel spreadsheet that pulls date
from another Excel file and use it in a chart. The files store production
deata for his shift

He keeps both files on his desktop

I asked him to email these files to me so that I can use them for my shift
too. He did this and I stored them on my desktop (which is on a separate
PC)

When I try to alter the cell references, it won't let me because it says the
path is incorrect

The 'old' cell reference is:

=SERIES('C:\Documents and Settings\daviesp\Desktop\[EFFICIENCY aug
2006.xls]SEPT'!$A$4,'C:\Documents and Settings\daviesp\Desktop\[EFFICIENCY
aug 2006.xls]SEPT'!$B$3:$P$3,'C:\Documents and
Settings\daviesp\Desktop\[EFFICIENCY aug 2006.xls]SEPT'!$B$4:$P$4,1)

The new reference is:

=SERIES('C:\Documents and Settings\williamsp\Desktop\[EFFICIENCY aug
2006.xls]SEPT'!$A$4,'C:\Documents and Settings\williamsp\Desktop\[EFFICIENCY
aug 2006.xls]SEPT'!$B$3:$P$3,'C:\Documents and
Settings\williamsp\Desktop\[EFFICIENCY aug 2006.xls]SEPT'!$B$4:$P$4,1)

All I've done is changed daviesp to williamsp to reflect the fact that our
names are different

The location C:\Documents and Settings\williamsp\Desktop\EFFICIENCY aug
2006.xls definitrly exists

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks

Pete
