Hey Katherine and Phil and everyone,
I'm struggling with kind of the same issue but with external links to Excel files.
I created links between my Doc1 and my Doc2, so that whenever I update Doc1, Doc2 is updated too. I need all my partners to be able to do the same: edit Doc1, and check the modifications in Doc2.
During the first trials, what Phil said worked: Excel stored the path as relative path, and when Bill edited Doc1 he could see that Doc2 was updated as the path was the one on his computer.
But now, and especially since I converted the files from xlsx to xls, this does not work anymore. Excel stored the path of my computer and does not update it on Bill and everyone else's computer.
Do you have any explanation and solution?
Thanks so much for your help!
