------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jan 31 01:59:12 -0800 2007 ------- There was a problem when our employees tried to link cells of different spreadsheets. They saved the spreadsheets after editing them, but they also took these spreadsheets with them to work on them later on. So when they opened these spreadsheets OOo had been clever and asked patiently whether it should update the links. The documents that had been linked were not there so the users clicked on NO. Ok, that leaves the information in the cells like they were, but the links to the cells have been completely wrong. So that is what I have done: Created New Spreadsheet, entered Information some cells: A2 Terry Pratchett A3 Wolfgang Hohlbein A4 Marion Zimmer-Bradley Saved the Document as Authors.ods under $HOME/Documents and created another Spreadsheet and entered new Information: A2 Das Buch A3 Die Nebel von Avalon A4 Die Gelehrten der Scheibenwelt Saved the Document as Books.ods under $HOME/Documents. So both spreadsheets are open but saved. In Books.ods I wanted to link the names of the authors from Authors.ods, therefor I entered '=' e.g. in B2 and clicked on the corresponding cell in Authors, A3. So I could see the link, reading: "file:///$HOME/Documents/Authors.ods'#$Sheet1.A3. After that I clicked on Save and closed the spreadsheet for the books. On the command line I moved Books.ods to my home directory (mv $HOME/Documents/Books.ods $HOME/) and now wanted to open it again. OOo created a dialog: "The file contains links to other documents. Should they be updated?" So I thought that would mean the links themselves will _not_ be changed after I clicked on NO. Unfortunately the links are changed _before_ the dialog appears, and so I would say that only the information the former links had pointed to are not updated. Because in B2 the link changed to 'file:///$HOME/Authors.ods'#$Sheet1.A3. So the problem I have is the broken link ... I moved Books.ods but not Authors.ods... So I thought "What happens to the links when I move it back?" I wanted the effect the other way by entering data to the opened document Books.ods, B3 ='file:///$HOME/Documents/Authors.ods'#$Sheet1.A4, saved the information and closed the file again. After moving it back to the Documents folder (mv $HOME/Books.ods $HOME/Documents/Books.ods) I wanted to open it again, saw the dialog and clicked on NO again. Now the links are looking very funny, though the information the presented was correct. That is how the information looks like: 2 'file:///$HOME/Authors.ods'#$Sheet1.A3 (visible: "Wolfgang Hohlbein") 3 'file:///$HOME/Documents/Documents/Authors.ods'#$Sheet1.A4 (visible: "Marion Zimmer-Bradley") So when I tried to click Yes on the update dialog it would not find the information because the link is completely incorrect. Could You please help here?
