• Moving linked files (2000)

    I recently did some end-of-the-year organizing of my computer files. In the process I moved some Excel files that were linked to a completely separate “totals” worksheet. Now every time I open my “totals” worksheet, a box pops up that says the computer cannot find the files and I have to go through and show it where each of the five or six files is now. I thought that if I saved the “totals” file before closing it would remember where the moved files are, but, alas, I’ve had to re-show it where they are every time. Does anyone know what I have to do to make it remember? Any help is much appreciated! Thank you!

      Edit, Links, Change Source. Be careful you point to the correct intended source Workbook(s) for the links, or you can end up with a mess. (Guess how I know this?)

        Thanks, John. Worked like a charm.

          Wherever possible, Amy, you should keep linked files in the same folder. That way, you can move them wherever you like, without fear of disrupting the links.
