Hi Experts & Support,
I have a critical problem when trying to refer across Excel workbooks which all are located in different network folders.
There is a cell formula referring to another Excel file using UNC path, for instance, \\myserver\share\folder1\file.xlsm.
It works as long as anyone who is opening the file has no mapped network drive-- access this Excel file directly via UNC path.
However, it turns out that one of the workstation (Windows 2008 Server x64), when trying to access this file--even from UNC path directly-- the link is corrupted. The formula is changed automatically to \\myserver\folder1\file.xlsm (please notice a missing \share\).
And therefore, when the user on Windows 2008 Server save that Excel file, it causes the original file to be corrupted and every one who access the same file from another computers will all encounter a broken link then.
This Windows 2008 Server has no mapped network drive at all. We have done a lot of researches on the Internet but still couldn't find a solution to this. Is there any way we can investigate further and resolve this issue please?
Thanks in advance.
