Default changing source name constantly


-----Original Message-----
Is this possible? Want to have a Master Document

(source)
feeding into several sheets of a Destination Document so
using links (cell links and paste special several cell
links). All ok and updates. However, want to rename

the
Master Document to a different Month Name at end of

every
month. Still want the Destination document to know this
and update accordingly so what was MasterJan has

changed
to MasterFeb and I want the destination sheets to know
that and update. Is there any way at all? Help much
appreciated. Thanks. Sally

Hi Sally

My guess would be using a macro. As you know if you open
all spreadsheets that are linked to the master, then
rename the master (from Jan to feb) Excell automatically
updates that link in all speadsheets. So if you didn't
want to do this arduous task each time, you can set up a
macro that will do it for you, then assign a button on
the spreadsheet to activate the macro (all in help), but
basically when you press record on a macro, it will
record every action you do until you press stop.
