Hello all, I have a problem with excel links that is "somehow" similar to many others seen here; however not quite the same.
Here is the situation:
1- on Office 2013 I have a summary workbook which is liked to 2 other excel files
2- sometimes (not always) when I open the summary file, links are not updated , the edit links dialog box says "Error: source fot found". The only way to fix issue is to re-create links.
3- please note that: (a) files are in the right place with right name (b) files are neither read only not corrupted (c ) same behaviour if I open linked files (d ) all files are on a dropbox directory, but issue happens regardless i am connected to the network or not
4- till a few weeks ago I never saw such an issue but I cannot trace back any specific action that brought issue up.

Any suggestions?
Thanks!
