    Excel project design

    Hi everyone,

    I am designing an excel project for a company which has several
    different geographical locations (sites).


    Each site has a seperate workbook which are identical to each other,
    and at each site the employees fill in (update) with their own data,
    which is calculated and certain reports and charts are created.


    One of the requirements is that the director of the company would like
    be able to see these reports and charts for every site for his own use
    from his own location. He would only be vieiwng this at least once a
    month.


    I am having trouble decideing how i should go about this. The
    workbooks themselves are quite large in size so would be impractical
    to send the whole thing to him from each site.


    Any and all ideas are welcome.


    If you need any more information please ask.


    Regards
    Nick

    May be this link could help for a start?

    http://www.suite101.com/article.cfm/...ice2000/110885

    If you follow the first six steps in this article, then on line six where it says Double-click in the cell with the formula. Notice that the cell reference includes the workbook name, worksheet name and cell address from the source workbook

    If you then go to Tools > Options > Edit and deselect "Edit directly into cell" > OK. Then when you double-click in that cell, it will open the source workbook.
