we have several Excel 2010 files stored on a server containing links to other excels stored on the same server.
when these files are opened and saved from particular PCs, we discovered that they had corrupted the (UNC) paths of the links, but with a very strange manner:
the paths from "\\server\share\F1\F2\..." became "\\server\F1\F2\..."
The users corrupting the paths all have the same access rights to \\server\share as the ones that don't corrupt them.
the only difference we noticed in the two groups of users is that the ones corrupting the paths are using excel 2010 on windows XP, while the rest are using windows 7, but I don't see how that might make a difference...
any ideas?
