I have 2 workbooks with the same problem. Both files and the linked file are on a mapped networked drive. I am using Excel 2003 SP3.<o></o>
<o> </o>
Message reads: This workbook contains one or more links that cannot be updated and the choices are to either update the links or continue.<o></o>
<o> </o>
The problem is that when I click edit links, the edit links DB box opens with the link status as OK…and if I click to continue on opening all is well…either way the links work but I can not stop the message from appearing.<o></o>
<o> </o>
BTW: I have others in the office using this same link formula and no one else gets this message.<o></o>
<o> </o>
I have selected “Startup Prompt…” from the edit links DB box and selected “Don’t display the alert and update links” and I have Tools-Options-Edit-“Ask to update links” unchecked.<o></o>
<o> </o>
The link is:<o></o>
=IF(B444="","No UserID",VLOOKUP(B444,'I:\xxx\xxx\[workbook name.xls]Sheet1'!$A$1:$A$45000,1))<o></o>
<o> </o>
As you can see, the formula looks to a particular cell (in this case B444) and if the cell is blank enters No UserID in the cell. If there is a UserID in the cell it attempts to find it.<o></o>
<o> </o>
This is the only link in the book and if I edit the link the status is always OK.<o></o>
<o> </o>
This one has me stumped!<o></o>
