Problems with updating links in Excel
- Thread starter alechko
- Start date
I copied this from the help file in excel. Hopefully it sends you on the right track.
"To ensure that automatic links to data in other programs are updated, click Options on the Tools menu, click the Calculation tab, and make sure the Update remote references check box is selected. If this check box is cleared, the Automatic option in the Links dialog box (Edit menu) is overridden for linked data sources from other programs, such as a Microsoft Word document or a Microsoft Access database.

Sorry wish I could be of more help.
If this were my issue though I'd progress in this manner.
1. Test different link/calculation option settings. (likely this is the issue)
2. Search the MS Knowledge base for articles regarding linked cells in my version of excel.
3. Find a different way to accomplish the same objective.
