Paste Link Grayed Out
I have successfully used paste link several times before.
I now have a destination worksheet into which I was able to paste link one value successfully. Since then, all attempts to paste special show the paste link button as "grayed out". Any clues??? I spent a lot of time fomratting the destination worksheet so I am reluctant to start over. All suggestions will be very welcome. Steve

The destination sheet is probably protected. Go to

Paste Link Grayed Out
I don't know why the box is greyed out but what you could
do is write a formula that does the same thing. i.e in cell A1 in the destination sheet you could write the formula "=[1st workbook]!A1", then copy and paste special as "formulas" this formula to where ever needed.

Paste Link Grayed Out
Paste Link greys out when you select anything else than "Paste All" & "Operation None". Are you in this case?

Paste Link Grayed Out
Steve,
Have you tried to enter the link by typing it? 1. In the destination cell type = 1'. Do not press enter or esc 2. Change to the the other workbook by using the 'window' menu or using ctrl+tab 3. Select the cell you want to link 4. Press enter Or type directly: =[Filename]Sheet1!A1 Replace Filename,Sheet1 and A1 as needed Regards, Felipe -----Original Message----- I have successfully used paste link several times before.
