Default Same workbook links will not update automatically

Is there a reason why links within the same workbook will not update
automatically especially when excel is set to update links automatically? A
linked cell will update once double clicked!!! Thank you in advance.

Are you using Excel 2002 or later?
What are the Edit / Links / Startup settings?

I am using Excel 2002 SP2. The Edit/Links menu is grayed out.

Sorry - I missed the implication of "same workbook links"

Try Tools / Options / Calculation / Automatic

Thank you for the response. Those options were checked as you indicated. But
the problem persists. I found no help from MS knowledge base.

Does Ctrl+Alt+F9 have any effect?

Ctrl+Alt+F9 did update the links, but that's not a good solution. Thanks
for your help.

That suggests there may be a problem with the workbook's calculation chain.

If you are using Excel 2002 or later, with the workbook active, Alt+F11 to
the VB editor, Ctrl+G to the immediate window and
Application.CalculateFullRebuild

In earlier versions try Edit / Replace / = / = / Replace All
