Hi!

I have a problem concerning links from power point to excel.

The situation is like that:
I have a power point file with quite many links to a (one) extensive excel file which I keep in the same directory on my hard disk. Usually the procedure was to open the excel file, make changes there, then open the power point file (without closing the excel file) and update the links. Worked fine.

All of a sudden I have a strange problem now:
When I open the power point file and want to update the links, it tells me that an excel file with the respective name is already open (of course it is) and therefore it cannot be opened. So it looks like it wants to open the document where the links lead to again.
Why is that? And how can I tell it to use the file that I have opened already? I did not change anything conciously, so I do not know where I could have made a mistake in changing settings.

Thanks for your help!
