Default Links break when I move/re-name Folder...

Half look at the server and half look at my C drive. I need all to look at
my C drive. The PPT is in the same folder as the excels.
I used to do this all the time. Every first of the month to be exact. I copy
the folder from our server, and paste it onto my C drive and almost all of
the links would be pointing to the correct location, my C drive. This is
true, and still is true, for the old folder (containing the ppt and excels),
but not for the new folder. When I copy/paste the new folder, half of the
links are still pointing to the server...

Try renaming the folder on the server so PPT can't find the linked files there.
Also, are the links set to autoupdate?

to H:/Jun. Dont know if that helps, here is the report...

I'm not sure I understand the problem, then. These all seem to point to the same /Jul/
folder. Are they all correct, all incorrect or are just some of them broken?

And PPT won't convert any links simply because you rename the folder the linked files
are in. In some cases, if you move the PPT to the same folder as the linked files,
it'll still find them and (usually after accessing the links and saving the file) will
update the path but until the file's been saved at least once, the path it shows you is
unreliable.

Default Links break when I move/re-name Folder...
I tried renaming the folder on the server and it still looks at the server.
It even follows the new name of the folder!!! That is frustrating because why
would the links that do not convert over when I move the folder to my C
drive, change when I re-name a folder? I am baffled... I believe they are set
to autoupdate. When I first open the ppt, it asks to update all the links...

Default Links break when I move/re-name Folder...

Also, I deleted a bunch of slides from my ppt so the link storage was at

storage capacity... Can anyone help???

If it *is* the link storage capacity, simply deleting slides wouldn't help.

Once you hit the storage limit, any newly added links seem to overwrite the old ones or shove
them off the stack. The link data's just gone, so removing slides won't help, unless you
re-create the links that've gone bad.

But I don't think it's a storage space issue ... the links show up as good, they're just not
pointing where you want them to.

If you need a quick way of sorting that part out, have a look he

Half look at the server and half look at my C drive. I need all to look at
my C drive. The PPT is in the same folder as the excels.
I used to do this all the time. Every first of the month to be exact. I copy
the folder from our server, and paste it onto my C drive and almost all of
the links would be pointing to the correct location, my C drive. This is
true, and still is true, for the old folder (containing the ppt and excels),
but not for the new folder. When I copy/paste the new folder, half of the
links are still pointing to the server...

I'm not sure I understand the problem, then. These all seem to point to the same /Jul/
folder. Are they all correct, all incorrect or are just some of them broken?

And PPT won't convert any links simply because you rename the folder the linked files
are in. In some cases, if you move the PPT to the same folder as the linked files,
it'll still find them and (usually after accessing the links and saving the file) will
update the path but until the file's been saved at least once, the path it shows you is
unreliable.

Default Links break when I move/re-name Folder...
In article , Ambriglia wrote:
I tried renaming the folder on the server and it still looks at the server.

It might be worth temporarily disabling the Windows "Distributed Link Tracking Client" service
as a test.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/312403

Among other things, it says:

"Distributed Link Tracking tracks links in scenarios where the link is made to a file on an NTFS
volume, such as shell shortcuts and OLE links. If that file is renamed, moved to another volume
on the same computer, moved to another computer, or moved in other similar scenarios, Windows
uses Distributed Link Tracking to find the file. When you access a link that has moved,
Distributed Link Tracking locates the link; you are unaware that the file has moved, or that
Distributed Link Tracking is used to find the moved file."

But if you know what you're doing and you WANT the original link to break so PPT will find the
file in the new location, it appears to me that this might be gumming up the works.

This type of brute force might be the only answer. Beat the silly out of it with VBA:

Search & Replace to change OLE link paths
http://www.pptfaq.com/FAQ00759.htm

I believe they are set
to autoupdate. When I first open the ppt, it asks to update all the links...

Sounds like they're autoupdating then, unless only some of them are doing so.
You might check one of the links that's still pointed at the server drive.
Use Edit, Links to see whether it's set to autoupdate.
If not, make it so, save and reopen the presentation and see if that points it back at the C:
drive.

Try renaming the folder on the server so PPT can't find the linked files there.
Also, are the links set to autoupdate?

Default Links break when I move/re-name Folder...
Steve,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I believed that fixed the problem. I have
to do some testing to make sure it works but as of right now, it seems like
it will work. I can not thank you enough. This really helped me out! I
appreciate your patience and persistence. Thanks again!
-Anthony

Also, I deleted a bunch of slides from my ppt so the link storage was at
14,000 bytes, which is under the limit. That did not help. Half of my links
were still incorrect. I do not think it has anything to do with the link
storage capacity... Can anyone help???

If it *is* the link storage capacity, simply deleting slides wouldn't help.

Once you hit the storage limit, any newly added links seem to overwrite the old ones or shove
them off the stack. The link data's just gone, so removing slides won't help, unless you
re-create the links that've gone bad.

But I don't think it's a storage space issue ... the links show up as good, they're just not
pointing where you want them to.

If you need a quick way of sorting that part out, have a look he

Half look at the server and half look at my C drive. I need all to look at
my C drive. The PPT is in the same folder as the excels.
I used to do this all the time. Every first of the month to be exact. I copy
the folder from our server, and paste it onto my C drive and almost all of
the links would be pointing to the correct location, my C drive. This is
true, and still is true, for the old folder (containing the ppt and excels),
but not for the new folder. When I copy/paste the new folder, half of the
links are still pointing to the server...

There might be a misunderstanding, and it is probably my fault. The links do
not necessarily break. When I re-name a folder from "H:/May" to "H:/Jun" half

to H:/Jun. Dont know if that helps, here is the report...

I'm not sure I understand the problem, then. These all seem to point to the same /Jul/
folder. Are they all correct, all incorrect or are just some of them broken?

And PPT won't convert any links simply because you rename the folder the linked files
are in. In some cases, if you move the PPT to the same folder as the linked files,
it'll still find them and (usually after accessing the links and saving the file) will
update the path but until the file's been saved at least once, the path it shows you is
unreliable.

Steve,
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! I believed that fixed the problem. I have
to do some testing to make sure it works but as of right now, it seems like
it will work. I can not thank you enough. This really helped me out! I
appreciate your patience and persistence. Thanks again!

Also, I deleted a bunch of slides from my ppt so the link storage was at
14,000 bytes, which is under the limit. That did not help. Half of my links
were still incorrect. I do not think it has anything to do with the link
storage capacity... Can anyone help???

If it *is* the link storage capacity, simply deleting slides wouldn't help.

Once you hit the storage limit, any newly added links seem to overwrite the old ones or shove
them off the stack. The link data's just gone, so removing slides won't help, unless you
re-create the links that've gone bad.

But I don't think it's a storage space issue ... the links show up as good, they're just not
pointing where you want them to.

If you need a quick way of sorting that part out, have a look he

Half look at the server and half look at my C drive. I need all to look at
my C drive. The PPT is in the same folder as the excels.
I used to do this all the time. Every first of the month to be exact. I copy
the folder from our server, and paste it onto my C drive and almost all of
the links would be pointing to the correct location, my C drive. This is
true, and still is true, for the old folder (containing the ppt and excels),
but not for the new folder. When I copy/paste the new folder, half of the
links are still pointing to the server...

There might be a misunderstanding, and it is probably my fault. The links do
not necessarily break. When I re-name a folder from "H:/May" to "H:/Jun" half
of the links in my ppt still look at H:/May. All of the links do not convert
to H:/Jun. Dont know if that helps, here is the report...

I'm not sure I understand the problem, then. These all seem to point to the same /Jul/
folder. Are they all correct, all incorrect or are just some of them broken?

And PPT won't convert any links simply because you rename the folder the linked files
are in. In some cases, if you move the PPT to the same folder as the linked files,
it'll still find them and (usually after accessing the links and saving the file) will
update the path but until the file's been saved at least once, the path it shows you is
unreliable.
