Links between workbooks

Hi,

I think I have a problem with links between workbooks. I hope you can help me. I'll try to explain what I've done:

1) I open two workbooks - the source and the destination workbooks;

2) In the destination workbook I type an equal sign and then select the cells in the source workbook I want to link;

3) Then I have two situations:

First situation: if both workbooks are open, any change in the source workbook is updated to the destination workbook - it works fine!;

Second situation: if I close destination workbook and make a change like "insert rows" in source workbook then when I open destination workbook the cell reference stays the same, it wasn't updated.

Why is this happenning? Is there a solution for this problem?

Thank you

hi
I don't recommend linking sheets together for exactly this reason.
There is no way to get the formulae to update when you insert columns etc..

Recommendation is to combine the workbooks into 1.

Thanks for the information!
