I have a user who has a Word document containing multiple links to multiple
Excel spreadsheets. There are roughly 6 different spreadsheets and as many
as 6 links to each spreadsheet. When opening the document, Word tries to
update the links and the following warning message is displayed "A document
with the name name.xls is already open. You cannot open two documents with
the same name, even if the documents are in different folders. To open the
second document, either close the document that's currently open, or rename
one of the documents.

MS Word will then crash. I have verified that the spreadsheet is not open.
The user updates these spreadsheets monthly, so the links do need to be
updated on a regular basis.

Does anyone have any insight with this one? Is there any additional
information I can provide?

Thanks...
