Here is a problem which occurs on one machine and does not appear in another
machine, though the machines are identical in all aspects, the make memory,
software etc.. and Office 2003 is installed on both the machines.

Question -
In excel in a cell if there is a formula with references using a function
(example sum or average) to four different cells in four different workbooks,
then the entire path of the workbook in which the cell is pointing to is
displayed in the formula bar, if the referred workbooks are not opened.

Now if the refered workbooks are opened, pointing to that cell having
the formula with references, the formula bar does not display the entire
path rather shows only the minimal required reference.

Ideally speaking if the cell is having references to different cells in
different workbooks and the workbooks are also opened, then after pointing to
the cell having references, the formula bar should not display the fullpath
of the workbook, rather minimal reference of sheetname and cell no. is enough.

Please let me know the solution.
