Very strange. I have this set to "File System", with "Internet" unchecked.
Yet, when I open my document, the cell's have the "##", with the error
message;

Error: Value Not Available

in the bottom right hand corner.

In a cell that is linked, I have this, which works on the MAC OS X laptop;

=DDE("soffice";"./bar_receipts2006.sxc";"April.I39")

If I change the "./bar_receipts2006.sxc" to the full path, it works.
