error: "Cannot open PivotTable source file..." but I am working with only one standalone computer

I cannot determine the source of this error that is constant.

  1. The source referenced is not listed when I click "Edit Links"
  2. If I do a formula search for the file name in the ENTIRE workbook, nothing is found
  3. All files are on only ONE computer that is mine!  Windows 7

Now for background I often save my file under a new name:

  • suppose my original file is "Checking"
  • I then save it as CheckingXX in the same folder
  • then rename previous version of Checking to "Checking032814" to create a checkpoint backup that I move to my "backup" folder
  • finally I then rename CheckingXX to Checking
  • and then this file Checking is where the error occurs since it says:
  • cannot open PivotTable source file 'C:\.....\Checking032814'
  • but this file is not found anywhere in as I said in 1, 2, 3 above.

This is so frustrating; any help greatly appreciated
