    Lightbulb Renaming a file that is referenced in another speadsheet

    I have two worksbooks that I use at work which cross reference each other in numerous formulas. I was wondering is there was a good way to rename one of these files and have the formulas in the other self update. I could do a find and replace, but I'm assuming there's a better way. Any help here?

    Thanks in advance.

    Cheers

    Open both workbooks, then do a SAVEAS on them to get the new filenames active in the opposing workbooks.

    I only need to change the name of one file. Can I just do a SAVE AS on the one? Do I just delete the old file when I'm done?
