I've got a spreadsheet consisting of several ODBC queries that I need to distribute to multiple individuals. The ODBC server's IP address in the Connection String will be different for each individual so I'm looking for a way to update the server's IP address based off of an IP address I enter in a cell on a worksheet in the workbook.

For example, if the server's IP address is 192.168.1.50, I want to be able to enter 192.168.1.50 in cell A2 on a worksheet called "IP" and have it update the connection information on each worksheet.

Is this possible?

Links? Where??
If Excel says you have links but you can't find them, go to Formulas, Name Manager. Look for old links to dead workbooks & delete.
