Alright, I am using the new Office 2007 Retail.
Ok, Excel 2007, and PowerPoint 2007.
I got an Excel sheet that resides on our local network drive:
\\bla\bla\bla\excel.xlsx
I open it, over the network, I highlight the cells that have the data
and make a chart, I copy the chart and then I:
Paste Special: Paste as link into the PowerPoint.
Great it worked, when I right click on the chart in PowerPoint, I can edit the link, Update the link, Open the link, it all works. I exit Excel (yes I saved it), I can still in Power point, edit the link, Open the Link and update the link.
I save the Power Point, I exit....
I open the PowerPoint which also resides on the network drive, since there in a linked object in my slide (the chart) it asks me if I want to Update the links, I click: Update Links.
I get an error that the link is broken or un-available, what's up with that ?
I mean it works, I saved it, I exit, it no longer works..... http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/images/smiles/icon_huh.gif
Please http://www.mrexcel.com/board2/images/smiles/icon_rolleyes.gif tell me what I am doing wrong.
THANK YOU very much!
