Default Linking Excel Data to a Word Document


I have an Excel worksheet that is linked to a word document. The data
updates perfectly if the Excel Workbook and the Word Document resides
in the same PC.

We have a Network at work and if the Excel Workbook and the Word
document are not on the same PC , the data from Excel is is updated on
the work document.

How can I get the data to update on work, where there is a file server
on a newtwork?

Your assistance will be most appreciated

Regards

Howard

I guess you meant to say that it is "not" updated.

Is the Excel Workbook on a Network drive or on the hard disk of another PC
(workstation) that is connected to the network.

If the former, you probably have not updated the path in the link to reflect
where the information now resides.

I am having the same issue. I have not found a resolution yet.

Any information would be appreciated. I have done searching and not found
anything.
