Re: [libreoffice-users] Re: LibreOffice Calc: Update External Link Question

Thanks for the reply Andreas.  

Please view the following link:  http://youtu.be/UWTVKzp6kV8 

I believe that will explain my question.

I have learned something during my experimentations.  If the files are in ods format, the update 
works correctly.  It is when the files are in xls format that the links don't update.  

So I have two work arounds. . .1)  Keep the files in xls format and open the source before I update 
the link, or 2) convert the files to ods format.
