Hi,

I have following problem with file references in excel 2013.

I have two workbooks they have references to each other. So some cells in workbook1 reference cells in workbook2 and some cells in workbook2 reference cells in workbook1.

All works fine until I try to open both workbooks at the same time. In such case all links are lost immediately and cells start to show "ADR" and "ARG" error tags instead of values that there ware just before opening second file.

My files are located on network drive I have mapped. I have noticed that when I open only one of this files reference paths in cells are indicated as global:

='Z:\KM\projekty\KM belki mostowe\wiadukty FR\[Oszacowania projektu zastepczego_belki FR.xlsm]Przekroj faza 2 (2)'!$B$23

But when both files are opened at the same time reference paths are indicated as local, so they only point the other file's name as both are in the same directory.

What should I do to be able to open one or both files at the same time and stop having this lost references issue?

Cris.
