If I copy a formula in workbook A with a link referring to workbook B which is not open at the time and paste it in another cell in Workbook A, my Excel freezes up for good. Outside of the obvious (open up the Workbook B before pasting the formula) is there any way I can abort or avoid this freeze from occuring?

Excel Facts

Workdays for a market open Mon, Wed, Friday?
Yes! Use "0101011" for the weekend argument in NETWORKDAYS.INTL or WORKDAY.INTL. The 7 digits start on Monday. 1 means it is a weekend.
You might try turning calculation to manual, but it's trying to recalc and can't 'cause it can't link...

Hi Gary,

I have a similar problem, how do I:

"freeze dynamic link long enough to cut & paste to non-dynamic cell"

Thanks
