    import file from another sheet - location problem

    hello

    i have a main page that get values from multiple sheet

    when i create the link the result is this one:

    '[3600 Cir. 縵ua 繁ida.xls]P-36110-1-1,5" BC'!$B$6

    but when i close the file and open again the result is this:

    C:\Users\Ricardo\Desktop\gest緌 vida equipamento\GERM - Gest緌 Equipamento Refinaria Matosinhos\FCO\Linha II\3600\[3600 Cir. 縵ua 繁ida.xls]P-36110-1-1,5" BC'!$B$6

    it ads the entire direction.
    the problem is when i want to transfer to another PC the main folder that contanins all the subfolders and files, the direction of update it will be wrong.
    i want the update only moves inside the main folder and subfolders.

    it can be done?

    Although it is showing you the entire path, Excel is not using the absolute path to refer to the file. If you transfer to the entire folder (and subfolders) to another machine, or to another folder on the same machine, the references should still all work, and you will see that the displayed path is automatically updated to match.
