MS Office Forum / General PowerPoint Questions / April 2008problem linking excel 2007 to ppt 2007
I'm new to Office 2007. I have an ppsx file with many links to an xlsm file. As I am adding links (while both files are open) and saving periodically they all work perfectly. However after I close the ppsx file and reopen, the links don't work. "Edit Links to Files" tells me the links are still there and are "available", but when I try to update them (either while opening or individually) I get "The linked file was unavailable and can't be updated." error and the link goes to "unavailable". The files are located in the same server directory and have never been moved. Help. I never had this problem with Excel/PPT 2003. Thanks, casey FWIW. After now reading a previous post a couple of weeks ago for a possible workaround, I moved my files from Server2003 box to my local drive. This worked but still waiting for MS to fix issue. casey > I'm new to Office 2007.

As are we all, Casey. We've no idea when the fix will appear though. Glad you found the workaround though. >----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================ Thanks, Steve. Just using my local drive now. Your earlier posts on March 9-10 with Mark helped. casey > > FWIW.

In a few minutes, I'll have a note about it here: PowerPoint 2007 won't update links to files on network drives http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00930.htm ----------------------------------------- Steve Rindsberg, PPT MVP PPT FAQ: www.pptfaq.com PPTools: www.pptools.com ================================================
