I am using Windows XP Pro SP1a with Excel 2003. I created a shortcut to a
file I use alot, and placed it on my desktop. This location is on a network
drive. When someone moves the file to a different location on the same
mapped network drive, when I run my shortcut link, it opens the Excel file -
yet external file location links that are referenced inside this Excel
sheet, are no longer good.

How can this Excel shortcut know where this file resides after it has been
moved? Is this built-in functionality for Excel 2003? For Windows XP Pro?

When I move the Excel file, I want my shortcut to the file that is on my
desktop, to no longer work.

TIA,

-Tom
