Links to mapped drive change to refer to local hard drive
We are running Excel 2000 under Windows XP. There are several spreadsheets
residing in a folder on a server to which 4 people have their O drive mapped. These spreadsheets contain links to other files within these folders. For 3 of the people, the links work perfectly but for one person, all the links change to refer to his XLSTART folder on his local hard drive. I have double checked his mapped drive and his netowrk permissions to these folders. I have disconnected remapped the drive without success. |

Links to mapped drive change to refer to local hard drive
Having spent hours of investigation on this, I have just discovered that the
other people all have the mapped drive listed as the alternate startup location in Tools - Options - General. When I put this into the alternate startup location on the 4th computer, this worked for him too. "SueD" wrote: We are running Excel 2000 under Windows XP.
