Excel links on network: sharing file off network

I am sharing with an outside company an excel file that
has links to other excel files on our network. I need to
send this file back and forth and keep the links in tact
with the full directory listing. When I have copied this
file and worked on at home, it changes all my link
directories to "C:" from "O:". Is there any way to freeze
these links, so that when we send the file, the other
company will be able to calculate but not modify the links?

The update remote references seems to only apply to other
applications.

Any thoughts are much appreciated!

Vicki,

While not answering your question, could you build the
links using INDIRECT, and point indirect at the network
path?
