Updating via workbook links error

[PerryClisbee]

I have linked some cells in workbook "A" to corresponding cells in workbook "B". The idea is to have workbook A update with the most recent "B" data everytime I open it.
When I open workbook "A", I select the "Update" option, and then get the error:
"This workbook contains one or more cells that cannot be updated."

I have no columns or rows hidden that have the links, so what else could it be?

thanks,

Perry

In relation to that error, I DON'T get it if I have the referenced workbooks open before I open workbook A. Can I update a workbook without having the workbooks it's linked to opened already?
