When initially creating a link from (for example) Book1.xlsx to Book2.xlsx, the formula path in the cell in Book1 looks like "=+'\\Alpha\Beta\Gamma\Delta\[Book2.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1"
After saving/closing the files to our department's network, upon reopening them, the link is broken to "=+'\\Alpha\[Book2.xlsx]Sheet1'!$A$1", or some other combination of folders being removed from the file path. Sometimes it is only one folder from the path removed, other times only one folder remains. It appears to happen frequently when one user saves a file and another user opens it later on.
Trying to refresh the link obviously results in a #REF! error as a live link to the source file no longer exists.
Can anyone help me understand why this is happening? It happens regardless of what file type the files are saved as (i.e. .xlsx vs .xls).
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
