    Link Updates

    Good Morning,
    I am having issues with the links function of excel to were it displays the following:
    "Excell cannot update one or more links in this workbook. To update the links, open alll teh link source files (Edit menu, Links command). To be sure all calculations are updated, press F9"

    The spreadsheet that I created as a template give me this message every time that I try to update. This spreadsheet is obtaining information from another spreadsheet that also contains links as well. Is there anythign that I can do to turn this off and update without opening the source files?

    Show some examples of the formulas that have the links.

    Even better, attach your workbook.

    Attached is the workbook that gives me the alert stated in my first post. The formulas are basic addition of values found in different cells on 6 different spreadsheets. The files were created in 2 different formats of excel if that would matter (2003 and 2007).

    The file has references in it that look like this:

    ='C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Temp\Monday\[Monday-1st shift.xlsx]Report'!$E7

    These files apparently don't exist on your machine and that is why you are getting the message. Do you think they do exist?

    You can continue to work by clicking Continue. The values that are left in these references will be the same as they were when the user saved it. When I opened it, they were all #DIV/0 errors. If you don't have the files it links to, you can't fix that.
