I have problems with links also but found it doesn't matter if the linked file is still there. What 
I 
am seeing is only the first link is being saved. The problem I have is I use a third sheet to link 
to a calculated value in the second file but since the linked data from the first file is lost once 
you close file 2 the data for file 3 is wrong. See post "Calc Links not all saving".

        The only way I found to fix this was to install OpenOffice 3.3. If anyone has another 
solution I would be happy to test it otherwise we will have to upgrade our systems to 
Openoffice instead of Libreoffice.

        I filed a bug at 
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=34637

        I will also file one at the wiki link mentioned as soon as I can. I have 3 sample 
spreadsheet files that show this if anyone wants to look at them.


Thanks, Ron Gregor

Ahah, i thought you were going to say something like that.  It does seem 
completely reasonable.  It could lead to file sizes being larger but does have 
advantages.  


Is it possible to zip the file with the data-source so that both files get sent 
as a single attachment?  or even to send both files (as 2 attachments) without 
zipping them?  I can think of a few reasons why it might not be a workable 
work-around but if it is then that is probably the fastest temporary way to get 
the result you need.

Can you report this as a bug-report to get a result in the longer-term?

Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] difficulty with spreadsheet links

The thing is, in MS Excel and Open Office, once the link is established,
if you open up the file and don't update the links, the values remain.
In Libre Office they disappear.  This is a problem if you want to share
the spreadsheet file with someone else who doesn't have the date file on
their computer.  Do I make myself understood?

I do not understand here.  You link to something then delete it and 
expect to still connect to it?  It is a _link_ it is not a copy of the data.
